A male rough-toothed dolphin named 'Hart' has been rescued and is currently undergoing rehabilitation at the Ocean Adventure theme park in Subic Bay Freeport, following multiple stranding incidents in Pangasinan.
Despite several attempts to release him back into the wild, Hart was found to have health issues and is now receiving specialized care, including antibiotics, liver support, and physical therapy to address mild scoliosis.
Hart was initially discovered in Barangay Aloleng, Agno, Pangasinan, on February 13. After multiple re-stranding incidents, it became clear that Hart required specialized care beyond what could be provided in his initial recovery setting.
Recognizing the severity of his condition, rescuers made the decision to transfer him to Ocean Adventure's dolphin rehabilitation facility on February 20, a move aimed at providing Hart with the best possible chance for recovery. Operated by Subic Bay Marine Exploratorium Inc., Ocean Adventure is equipped to offer comprehensive care for marine mammals in distress.
Hart is receiving an array of treatments designed to address both his immediate health issues and the underlying conditions that contributed to his stranding. This includes antibiotics to fight infections, liver support to aid in his overall health, and electrolytes and supplements to ensure he receives the necessary nutrients.
Additionally, Hart is undergoing physical therapy to correct mild scoliosis in his peduncle, a condition suspected to have developed due to the limited swimming space available during his initial rehabilitation period.
Subic Bay Ocean Adventure is renowned for its dedication to the rehabilitation of marine mammals, making it the ideal location for Hart's long-term recovery. (bnnbreaking.com)
