We have had another sea turtle brought into us. He was a "floater". He has pneumonia and as a result was unable to submerge himself. The pneumonia caused him to loose a lot of weight - he is emaciated & exhausted. As a result of him being unable to submerge he was hit by a boat which has fractured his shell. So there is lots of repairing required. We need to fix the fractures in his shell, treat his pneumonia & put a lot more weight back on him.

I did not realise that Turtles could get pneumonia, it is amazing what you can learn if you take the time to read up on something, and I am so pleased to have found your site.
I was searching for information on caring for my Flemish Giant Rabbits and plus my many many other animals, such as mixed breeds of poultry eg guinea fowl,geese,ducks of different breeds,hens and turkeys of many colours and varieties, many roosters, sheep,goats,cats and dogs.
I can assure you I will keep on popping into your site to learn much much more, I do wish you all well with each endeavour.
And thank you for such a wonderful site.
