Misty, as the dolphin has come to be called by volunteers monitoring her condition, is in a small tank that appears to be extremely unsanitary, filled with dead fish and algae, and with no filtration system. The dolphin treads water while continually holding a yellow buoy in its mouth for consolation, like a lost child holding onto a teddy bear. Dolphin base has admitted the dolphin is sick to the Sea Shepherd Cove Guardians, who are monitoring Misty and have taken the video and pictures here.
