Poor little guy :(

It is good to know that someone was willing to go that far for a turtle!

This just shows that there are people willing to go that far just to save one animal's life.

Sadly, that turtle did not make it. He died I think sometime last week. Cause of death was said to be liver/kidney failure.

I think the turtle's death was the main subject of the article. If he lived for two years with the eating problem, I wonder why they decided to try to fix it now...

Oh, sorry. I clicked and saw the pic and figured it was the first article about the actual procedure.
