Status Report
- 06/26/2026 Meet Charlie, a juvenile green sea turtle rescued off Key West. He arrived at the Turtle Hospital suffering from a heavy load of fibropapilloma (FP) tumors, and he’s looking pretty rough right now. Our veterinary team has already begun evaluating his condition, and Charlie is settling in as we start developing the best treatment plan for him.
- 7/13/2026 Charlie took a field trip to the human hospital last week for a CT scan. The good news is his lungs are clear, the scan did reveal a suspicious spot on his bones, so our team will be monitoring it closely as Charlie continues his treatment and recovery.
