A Turtle Neck on a Turtle’s Neck?!
🐢Peewee update!🐢
There is a slight misalignment in one of Peewee’s vertebrae, which helps explain some of the trouble he has been having with his neck and movement.
The good news? We have a plan.
We’re taking things slowly and working to encourage that vertebra back toward a more appropriate position. There isn’t a magic button we can push. There isn’t a guaranteed outcome.
There is just creativity, patience, careful rehabilitation, and a whole lot of hope.
And Peewee?
He’s still fighting. He’s still feisty. And he still has an absolutely ridiculous amount of personality packed into a turtle smaller than a handful.
This is exactly why wildlife rehabilitation matters.
Sometimes the animal in front of us doesn’t need someone to simply say, “There’s nothing we can do.”
Sometimes they need someone willing to say, “Okay. Let’s figure this out.”
And that’s what we’re doing for Peewee!
Give Local Louisville ended at midnight but we’re still incredibly close to hitting our our $1,000 fundraising goal!
If you’d like to help us continue providing veterinary care, diagnostics, rehabilitation, medications, specialized equipment, and supplies for turtles like Peewee, there are still multiple ways to donate and help us get there.
Every dollar helps us keep saying “let’s figure this out” when another animal needs us!
