Quincy the turtle now a quad

ANSONIA-While Quincy is now a quad there are no plans to change her name. At least not according to Dawn Sotir, a ranger at the Ansonia Nature Center on Deerfield Road. “She’s doing quite well now,” said Sotir of Quincy who had her mutated fifth leg amputated Aug. 23 by Veterinarian James Micinilio, of Countryside Veterinary Hospital on Shelton’s,Leavenworth Road. “For the first three days she was lethargic, not eating, keeping her head down. So we brought her friend Tripod (a three-legged fellow Eastern Box Turtle) into the cage with her and she perked right up.” Now the pair are inside the Nature Center sunning under an Ultraviolet light and feasting on watermelon, carrots and worms.
