Aurora update! Aurora, a juvenile green sea turtle convalescing at The Turtle Hospital is getting stronger by the day! She is being treated for fibropapillomatosis. Aurora had suspicious spots on her initial CAT scan. Good news is this week a follow-up CAT scan was much improved! Aurora has a good appetite and is starting to put on weight. Her blood levels are improving and as soon as she is strong enough, Aurora will make the trip to Dr. Karpinski’s, a veterinary ophthalmologist to have her eye tumors removed. Flippers crossed she has clear corneas under those horrific tumors 👀🙏❤️‍🩹. Thank you for your continued prayers and healing energies for Aurora 💖
