The vets perform surgery to remove tumours in the lungs of a turtle, using a laser. Fascinating video from BBC show Vets in the Wild.

  • Did the show ever say where this was filmed? It looks like The Turtle Hospital down in Marathon, Florida, USA.

  • I want to be a vet!!!

    

  • I hope my turtle never has to go for surgery

  • Okay, why don't you help them to find out turtles, in need of tumor treatment aid? It is imposible, they'rn't humans, u know,Who feel so bad they go to see their doctors. Not doctors go to see thier patients... Lol )))

  • Okay, I suppose you're right, I just have a hard time reconciling the fact that turtle tumor care is based entirely on luck, but there's no other way.

  • Come on lad, they do their best. If one of them was rescured, I reckon that is enough worth. .............

    I must confess that, I was amazed, very fantastic brilliant vid...

  • How do you decide which turtles deserve tumor treatments and which ones will be left to deal with their own problems?

  • wow.. very neat video... thanks. 5/5

  • that made absolutely no sence, if you dont know english dont bother or use a translator
