The doctors took him to the hospital to check, the results of the CT scan shocked them. Osmin's stomach is filled with lots of coins.
The turtle cannot move on land or swim underwater.
Osmin lives in a lake in Chonburi Province, where tourists often throw coins down to pray for good luck. Thinking it was food, it swallowed a lot of coins for a long time.
The doctors decided to surgically remove those coins from the turtle's stomach to save it. They picked up 915 coins with an amount of about 5kg out of Osmin's belly.
CT images show that the turtle's stomach is filled with many coins.
The surgery was successful, Osmin recovered very well. But the coins in Osmin's body caused her lungs to become severely infected and her health weakened and died
