author keywords: Coagulation; coagulopathy; cold stunned; sea turtle; thromboelastography
MeSH headings : Animals; Cold Temperature / adverse effects; Hemostasis; Plasma / chemistry; Reference Values; Species Specificity; Thrombelastography / veterinary; Turtles / blood
TL;DR:
Findings indicate that cold stunning may cause disorders in hemostasis that can contribute to the severity of the condition and early diagnosis of coagulopathies in the clinical assessment of a cold-stunned sea turtle may influence the treatment approach and clinical outcome of the case.

Crude Oil and Dispersant Cause Acute Clinicopathological Abnormalities in Hatchling Loggerhead Sea Turtles (Caretta caretta)
FRONTIERS IN VETERINARY SCIENCE, 6.
author keywords: Caretta caretta; corexit; crude oil; dispersant; hematology; loggerhead sea turtle; plasma biochemistry
TL;DR:
Clinopathological findings were supported by a failure to gain weight (associated with normal hatchling hydration in seawater) in dispersant and combination exposed hatchlings, and indicate potential impacts on wildlife to consider when deploying dispersants in an oil spill response.

The Effects of Feeding on Hematological and Plasma Biochemical Profiles in Green (Chelonia mydas) and Kemp's Ridley (Lepidochelys kempii) Sea Turtles
Veterinary Medicine International, 2011, 1–7.
TL;DR:
Feeding had no significant effects on hematological values in either species, nor did it have an effect on plasma biochemistry values in Kemp's ridley sea turtles, but in postprandial green turtles, total protein, albumin, ALP, AST, ALT, amylase, and cholesterol increased significantly, and chloride decreased significantly.

TL;DR:
It is concluded that acute hypoxia triggered an overall downregulation of the immune system in the test fish, suggesting a possible factor in the pathogenesis of disease outbreaks in fish in which repeated, sublethal bouts of environmentally induced hypoxIA lead to increased disease susceptibility and individual mortalities rather than massive fish kills.

TL;DR:
The observed within-season return nesting rate of the anaesthetising turtles was comparable with that of unanaesthetised turtles, and the lower doses used initially were used initially to ensure against overdosage and reduce the chances of residual effects after the turtles returned to the water, but successful ergs called for step-wise dose increases to the required level of anaesthesia.
