| Fenna - Arrived on 8th November 2007 |
| The Sanctuary received a call from Tim (BDMLR) about a pup on the beach at St Ives which had some wounds to its rear flippers and very malnourished. The Animal Care Team got together the kit and headed to St Ives. The pup had already been brought up the beach when the Sanctuary team arrived and was given fluids in the car park before being taken back to the Sanctuary. The pup was weighed and found to be 17.5 kilos, which for a pup this age is underweight. The pup also had numerous puncture wounds to its rear flippers, with both swelling and discharge; she also had an ulcerated tongue. The pup has been put on a course of antibiotics, pain relief as well as the normal vitamins and iron tablets, plus fluid for the first 24 hours. She has been named Fenna. Hospital Update: 13th November 2007 - Fenna is doing well and is now being force-fed fish 4 times a day. |
