Arrival: 7/9/14

Species: Loggerhead

Weight: 100 lbs.

She was found floating near Marathon and unable to dive. She had an impaction from eating things she should not have.

UPDATE:

Dorothy has been receiving antibiotics, fluids and Beano to help her recover from her impaction. At the beginning stages of her treatment, Dorothy was outfitted with a pair of floaties to help her swim a better. Due to her impaction, she was floating a bit lopsided, and the floaties helped to keep her straight.

Dorothy with her floaties!

UPDATE:

Dorothy was released 1/31/15 at Sombrero Beach in Marathon. It was a great crowd. Dorothy’s rescuer and namesake, Dorothy was there to cheer her on!
