Daybreak has a few wounds on the carapace (upper shell) that we are treating with cold laser therapy and topical medications.

Ways to help Daybreak's Recovery
Adopt Daybreak
One of the three primary missions at Sea Turtle, Inc. is rehabilitation. We work hard to rescue and return every sea turtle back to the wild. Proceeds from this adoption will go directly to purchase needed medical supplies, veterinary exams, x-rays, food and general care for our rehab turtles.
