Shenaynay’s Release

Oct 14, 2007

SHENAYNAY a juvenile Green Sea Turtle was admitted in June 2007, due to having part of a fish hook in her throat. (well meaning fishermen had attempted to remove the hook but the turtle ended up swallowing a portion of it). Dr Doug Mader and staff used an endoscope and long “grabbers” to address the problem.
