GSPCA manager Steve Byrne said although her recovery continues slowly, they were pleased with the results of the tests that had been performed.
'To get her through the first week is very positive,' he said.
'It's very encouraging to have got to this point and now it's about getting her in a condition to endure the journey to a climate that is more beneficial to her health.'
Mr Byrne added that the turtle has been fully X-rayed and the results showed no injuries of any concern.
