Photos: Injured Turtle Has Stitches Removed
Berners
Tuesday, April 12, 2016

Daisy — the loggerhead turtle that has been residing at the Bermuda Museum, Aquarium & Zoo since she underwent life-saving surgery to remove a rusting hook in her throat three months ago — has had her stitches removed and it is hoped she can be released back into the wild in late spring/early summer.

“In addition to all of her routine monthly checks, such as weighing her, taking measurements and blood samples, Dr. Ian Walker was present to finally remove the stitches from her surgery,” the Bermuda Zoological Society said.

“Although 3 months may seem like a long time to have stitches, they were only just removed because reptiles have tough skin and it therefore takes much longer for their wounds to heal.

“We can report that, on average, Daisy is eating about 4 pounds of fish a day and has gained approximately 30 pounds, which is a very good amount. We are hoping to release her back into the wild in late spring/early summer.
