| THE
STRANDING |

Spotted by Janet Warren near the Hanover Seaside Club in Wrightsville
Beach. She phoned the local rescue team (Nancy Fahey) but initially
they were unable to retreive the turtle. Enter lifeguard Andrew Price,
who, a few hours later, was able to dive in and pull the turtle from
the surf. The turtle was in poor health, emaciated and weak.
The turtle was immediately transported to the KBSTRRC. Fluids and
antibiotics were administered,

TREATMENT |
 
So skinny she has worn away the scutes on her head as she lifts her
head to breathe. Luckily, fattening up sick turtles is one of our
specialties.

A bath in May can mean just one thing. Time for weights,
measurements and tags; a good physical exam and some blood work.
If all goes well, Havover is out of here this summer.
