10\/31\/2023<\/strong>\u00a0Turtle was found floating 3 miles offshore from Venice Fishing Pier.\u00a0Upon arrival at Mote, exam findings reveal a larger amount of epibiota present indicating turtle may have not been swimming much for some time.\u00a0Blood work shows signs of anemia and low blood glucose.\u00a0Clarice was given fluids with dextrose and an antibiotic injection.\u00a0Likely exhibiting signs of debilitated turtle syndrome\/lethargic loggerhead.\u00a0Turtle is in a rehab. pool in very shallow water until more active.\u00a0She immediately foraged capelin and squid when offered.<\/p>\n

11\/04\/2023\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Clarice is still lethargic, but is able to maneuver well in the water so tank depth was raised a couple inches.\u00a0She continues to eat all sea food offered, so her diet is being slowly increased daily.\u00a0She has defecated a few times and there are tiny sea urching spines\/bodies present.<\/p>\n

11\/11\/2023\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Clarice is eagerly eating all seafood offered.\u00a0She was switched from an injectable antibiotic to an oral antibiotic since she’s eating well.\u00a0Still receiving an iron injection once a week to help with anemia.\u00a0Tank depth has been increased to half full since she is more active.<\/p>\n

11\/18\/2023<\/strong>\u00a0Clarice’s tank is now at full depth because she has been spending more time swimming.<\/p>\n

12\/30\/2023\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Clarice continues to eat well and slowly gain weight.\u00a0She is still on an oral antibiotic daily and weekly iron injections.\u00a0She has been de-wormed with 2 different anti-parasitics to treat potential cause of lethargic loggerhead syndrome now that she is stronger and healthier.<\/p>\n

01\/13\/2024\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Blood work is improving so antibiotics and iron injections have been discontinued.\u00a0<\/p>\n

02\/02\/2024\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Clarice continues to eat well and gain weight.\u00a0Fecal cytology showed an increase in abnormal bacteria, so turtle is now receiving an oral antibiotic daily.<\/p>\n

02\/24\/2024\u00a0<\/strong>\u00a0Clarice’s blood work is improving and she is now in good body condition.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
