@turtlehospital: “Harlow” the Loggerhead Sea Turtle Update and Blood Test 🩸🐢 We are handling her very carefully because her body is so fragile. She’s debilitated and emaciated or very weak and thin, which is also why we haven’t removed those last barnacles yet. ❤️🩹 We have been doing blood tests every four hours since her intake due to her critically low blood glucose and PCV (packed cell volume) values. In this video, we are doing a blood glucose test using a blood glucose meter. 💉 We are feeding her squid filled with all-natural honey to try and get her glucose levels stabilized. In addition to feeding her fish fillets. Loggerheads are carnivores, so she would usually be eating sea creatures like these in the wild, minus the honey of course. 🦑🐟 #connectandprotect #compassioniscontagious #rescuerehabrelease #seaturtlerescue #loggerheadseaturtle #loggerhead #turtle #turtlehospital #marathonturtlehospital #theturtlehospital #sea #seaturtle #loggerheadturtle #Science #nature #turtletok #ocean #beach #seaturtlehospital #seaturtlerehab #wildlife #floridakeys #STEM #education #animals #fyp #barnacles #seaturtlebarnacles #feedingseaturtles #feeding #bloodtest #Harlow
Is removing all the barnacles at once dangerous for her? If so, why?

Jackie G :
How does this happen ? Is is because the barnacles weigh them down and decondition them? What’s the average time it takes to get them well? And her prognosis?

Curious what the glucose level for a loggerhead should be within? We have a diabetic dog that we have to regulate her levels.

Love this place. Visited with my baby girl here years ago and she said her first word “tur-tle” I’ll never forget that. She still loves turtles to this day.
