Comments/Disposition:
Turtle was found disoriented on Longboat Key after having nested. It had a severe infection on one front flipper and had a very high white count. It was hospitalized to get the infection under control. 7/3 Turtle is gradually improving and white count is slowly decreasing. 7/20 White count went down and then back up again. Have changed antibiotics and seems to be improving. Hopefully will be able to release soon. 7/27 Turtle was released this morning off Longboat Key. Swam away very quickly and very strongly.
