from a pneumothorax condition, in which air builds up in the space between a lung and chest wall and causes the animal to appear bloated, the DRC said.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">&#8220;There\u2019s essentially a balloon that\u2019s being created, pushing down on his lung,&#8221; said Allie Prokovec, the director of media and marketing with the Dolphin Research Center.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">She noted that the danger of this condition is that, once that &#8220;balloon&#8221; becomes larger, it naturally moves that side of the animal upward to the surface, pushing the animal over to its side while it is in the water.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">It also puts pressure on the lung, which can lead to it collapsing. Prokovec added that the pneumothorax condition can also put greater pressure on the lung on the other side of the manatee\u2019s body, increasing the potential for that lung to collapse, as well.<\/p>\n<div class=\"featured featured-image component-center\">\n<div class=\"m\"><picture><source media=\"(max-width: 767px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/288\/162\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/576\/324\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" width=\"576\" height=\"324\"><source media=\"(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1023px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/720\/405\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1440\/810\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" width=\"1440\" height=\"810\"><source media=\"(min-width: 1024px)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/668\/376\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1, https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/1336\/752\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1 2x\" width=\"1336\" height=\"752\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"668\" height=\"376\" src=\"https:\/\/images.foxweather.com\/static.foxweather.com\/www.foxweather.com\/content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/668\/376\/video-2025-03-21t111806.830.jpg?ve=1&amp;tl=1\" alt=\"Drone shot of the rescue.\"\/><\/source><\/source><\/source><\/picture><\/div>\n<div class=\"info\">\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<p class=\"title\">Drone shot of the rescue.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sub-text\"><strong> (Daniel Eidsmoe \/ FOX Weather)<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">She noted the urgency for treating the pneumothorax condition, which is often caused by a boat strike.<\/p>\n<p data-v-438398f6=\"\">&#8220;It depends on how hard that boat hit them.
