The treatment center said that Stanley was discovered floating near a dock in Palm Beach Gardens and brought to LMC for treatment.

Upon arrival, the LMC hospital team found that Stanley was anemic and unable to dive due to an impaction.

To address these issues, Stanley is currently undergoing treatment at LMC with antibiotics, vitamins, intravenous fluids, and proper nutrition to help clear the obstruction.
