Turtle on arrival.
11/17 Turtle arrived this evening in very bad condition. It was affected by fibropapillomatosis (tumors). One of the tumors on the neck was larger than the turtle's head. Turtle was also very anemic and hypothermic. Treatment was begun. 11/18 Turtle was doing very poorly through the night and died today. Necropsy revealed internal tumors as well as external tumors.
