THE STRANDING Found with severe laceration to front flipper.
THE TREATMENT Transported August 12 to the NC State Vet School for amputation of wounded flipper.

While the amazing surgical team from the NC State School of Veterinary Medicine couldn't save this flipper, they used great care to insure the stub would heal properly, giving Briggy a new lease on life.
MAY 2006 It's hard to photograph a moving Kemps, they are like little rockets, but I hope you can see she is flying underwater with both flippers.
