An adorable albino turtle has gone viral as its heart beats out of its chest. Tiny Hope has such a rare condition that there isnt a name for it in veterinary medicine and is namedectopia cordis in humans.
MUTANT TURTLE WITH TWO HEADS STILL ALIVE AFTER 3 MONTHS I've gone for the more natural approach as to a completely sterile one," he said. The goal is to keep her deformity clean and her immune system strong. I can't risk another turtle accidentally puncturing her heart cavity. He added that she may be exposed to other turtles when she is less susceptible to infection, but "[f]or now, she's got to live in a bit of a bubble."Her food and medical supplies are provided, which allows Hope to swim about and enjoy her life, Aquilina said, adding that there are no current plans to correct the issue.
