Arlington Caretta caretta Stranding Location: St. Lucie Power Plant Arrival Date: May 26, 2008 Admission Note  5/26/08 This underweight sub-adult loggerhead was found by the biologists at the power plant.  This turtle is also slightly anemic.  We expect that good nutrition will provide a complete recovery for this turtle.  She has quite an active appetite which is encouraging. Initial weight: 66 lbs. Progress Note 7/24/08: Arlington's recent blood work shows the red blood cell count doubled in the last 4 weeks!  That means it is almost in the normal range but not quite.  Because it is still anemic we need to continue supportive care with iron rich foods.  There is a superficial skin infection that we are treating with routine cleaning with topical antimicrobial solution.  Arlington is scheduled  to be routinely de-wormed this weekend and may be ready to release in the next 4-6 weeks. Giving Arlington a daily scrub to treat his skin infection Progress Note 7/22/08: Arlington just completed a course of Baytril Antibiotic treatment  today  for a skin Infection and is receiving daily  scrubs  to promote healing.  The Rash is improving and this turtle  will be released when bloods return to a normal level.
