The Taronga Wildlife Hospital team recently performed a five hour-long surgery on a female Green turtle who had ingested seven fishing hooks 😢
Senior Veterinarian Larry Vogelnest said he has never seen so many fishing hooks inside one turtle, so it was a very difficult and delicate surgery.
Although the team managed to remove all hooks, the turtle is not quite out of the woods yet. However, she is eating well and swimming around in the hospital’s rehab pool, so the team feel quietly optimistic about the outcome even if that does include a long road to recovery.
The Taronga Wildlife Hospital team is urging anglers to always discard of fishing hooks and lines, and if you accidentally hook a turtle or a bird such as a cormorant, please reach out to a wildlife rescue organisation for assistance of bring the animal to the Taronga Wildlife Hospital or a local vet. 🙏🐢
