Ormsin, the 25-year-old female green turtle that has received an operation to remove 915 coins from her stomach, can swim now, a veterinarian at Chulalongkorn University has posted on her Facebook wall.

 

Nantarika Chansue posted on her Facebook wall on Friday that Ormsin could swim normally after she was allowed to enter water for the first time after the operation.

 

Ormsin received an operation on Monday. The turtle was rescued from Chon Buri’s Sri Racha district and nicknamed Ormsin.

Sort of handy to carry the cash for the operation with you. 

I have had a lot of fancy things give me a financial bellyache over the years. No operation cures it. I hope they got a turtle whisperer in to tell him that coin eating is a no no. Never had a turtle piggy bank before. 

I just broke open my pet turtle and didn't find any money.

Any change in her condition?
