| DART - Rescued 20th November 2004 |
 |
Dart was rescued by the
RSPCA from Salcombe in South Devon on 20th November 2004 and brought to the
seal sanctuary the same day. He was malnourished and had a large infected
bite wound to his rear left flipper making his flipper almost twice the size!
Once Dart was stable, he was taken for a x-ray which revealed that his flipper
was not broken but that he had a severe bone infection which should be able to
be treated with antibiotics.| Dart’s flipper will be monitored very closely and may require a further x-ray in 2-3 weeks time to see how he is progressing.
