Ormsin, female turtle, can swim now: her vet

Ormsin, female turtle, can swim now: her vet

Ormsin, the 25-year-old female green turtle that has received an operation to remove 915 coins from her stomach, can swim now, a veterinarian at Chulalongkorn University has posted on her Facebook wall.

Nantarika Chansue posted on her Facebook wall on Friday that Ormsin could swim normally after she was allowed to enter water for the first time after the operation.
Ormsin received an operation on Monday. The turtle was rescued from Chon Buri’s Sri Racha district and nicknamed Ormsin. 
“It is a super great day to see Bank [Ormsin] able to swim normally at the first water trial!
“She can use all limbs normally now! She looks very very happy to swim in our artificial seawater pool today. We still have to keep her wound dry most of the time for best healing,” Nantarika posted.
