As with our seals, training can make medical tests easier to do. In this video, Blondie is getting a routine skin scrape. Dr. Keiko Hirokawa, a New England Aquarium vet, takes a microscope slide and lightly scrapes Blondie's side to check for parasites. Since Lindsay had trained Blondie to sit in my hand, this was a piece of cake!
