11/21/11 Buster, the little Kemp’s ridley, made a visit to RIAC where Dr. Mary Burkart administered fluids, B-vitamin complex, and an enema.  Back at the rehab, we force fed capelin to the turtle.  Urates were passed, but no fecal matter yet! We’ll be reporting to the vet clinic daily about the presence or absence of fecal matter.

Below is today’s xray with arrows pointing out the impaction.
