Back at the Seal Sanctuary the pup was put in to isolation 1 and we then gave it a clinical assessment. The pup had puncture wounds to its underside and rear left hock. All wounds were treated with antibiotic spray and he was given a course of antibiotics and pain relief. This pup is very big and weighed 30.5 kilos. This pup will be given zoo-light for the first week, this will help him to feel hungry and then we can start him on fish. This pup is a little boy around 2 weeks old and has been called 'Digory'. |
