Final Disposition
Died August 18, 2005
Turtle was found in the surf at Bradenton Beach and reported by Anna Maria Island Turtle Watch volunteers. Turtle is in good flesh, but somewhat lethargic. Not anemic. Possible red tide toxicosis.
8/16 Turtle is still very lethargic. Have started tubing it to get fluids and food into it. We hope to see some response to treatment soon. 8/18 Turtle died this evening. Necropsy is pending
