| This tells the staff which turtles are at the hospital on any given day (kind of like our "huddle board" at the NMC Foundation :) |
 |
| Operating room (no surgeries scheduled this morning) |
 |
| They use laser surgery to remove tumors |
 |
| MANY turtle photos |
 |
| They receive medical attention in these containers |
 |
| Marine biologist caring for a turtle. You can see where tumors where lasered off the soft tissues on the left shoulder. |
 |
| Fibropapillomas (if I remember correctly) that will be lasered off |
 |
| Youngsters! |
 |
| They are kept for one year after the tumors are removed to be sure there won't be new growths |
 |
| These turtles are in the large one-year waiting tank that is connected to the Gulf (tides, temperature, etc) |
 |
| The folks at this hospital do amazing work! |
