—–Original Message—– From: c.e.goddard@… Sent: 5/9/01ﾫﾏ_8:37 AM To: terrapin@… Subject: Drowned Turtles Chun Resuscitating a drowned turtle has something to do with moving their legs in and out repeatedly and alternately as some form of artificial “CPR”. It has something to do with enabling their lungs to expand since they dont breathe in a “normal” mammal way – ie no diaphragm. I am not quite sure I understand it myself. Believe it or not I did once successfully bring a “drowned” spotted turtle back from the dead by spending about two hours pushing and pulling its little legs in and out. My wife thought I was crazy but it worked and is doing OK a year later. I was advised to keep it out of water for a while and watch for pneumonia. Hope this helps.
