| Our first pup from the RSPCA arrived this week for its rehabilitation with other seals. This pup named ‘Stinkweed’ (RSPCA chose to name their pups after wild flowers and plants) was rescued on the 4th October 2009 from Puttsbrough in Devon, this pup was malnourished and weighing only 13 kilos, with wounds all over its body which were infected. The pup was given a course of antibiotics and wounds cleaned and treated. On Wednesday 18th November 2009, this pup was transferred to the Sanctuary and is now in nursery pool 3.

This week Dudley (photo below left) and Rubeus (photo below right) were moved into the Convalescent Pool, both look to tiny to be in the big pool, but lucky none of the residents are picking on them these two are sticking together and if one wanders off too far then the one left behind will yell to find out where the other one has gone.

In nursery pool 2 we have Hufflepuff, Hedwig and Buckbeak, now the bigger boys have moved into the Convalescent Pool, it does mean that these guys can start to eat more fish before their food is taken, unfortunately Hedwig and Hufflepuff are still playing more with the fish then eating it. Buckbeak’s face has nearly healed and you would not even know the pup had a large wound to the side of his face.

In the hospital Molly has now moved out of isolation number 2 and moved into pen number 1 of our main hospital.
Molly now has got water in her pen everyday and is really enjoying it, just not when this picture was taken but is feeding by herself.

Luna is doing well in water and feeding well, this pup is doing ok.

Scabbers is another one who has to be encouraged into the water to feed, but once in the water he loves it.

| Ginny and Hermione are still in a pen together both are eating well, but Hermione is still a little bloated but not as big as she was.

Isolation 1 - Angelina still has not moulted her white coat, but is driving the team to distraction with her singing all day long.

Isolation 3 - Dolores is doing well and now also has water in her pen, but refused to have her picture taken and hides under the haul out area - sorry followers she would not cooperate, hopefully next week.
