Chrissi arrived with a very swollen flipper from being entangled in a ghost net. We performed x-ray and ultrasound exams and did our best to save her flipper and avoid an amputation. She took a while before starting to use her flipper, but with time and treatment she recovered.
Chrissi was released on 7th May 2019, just short of a month after arriving at the Rescue Centre. Watch here release below:
