| Neville was rescued on 31st January 2010 |
|
We received a call from a member of the public about a seal on the beach at Holywell Bay near Newquay on 31st January 2010. Our volunteers were despatched to the beach and found a seal malnourished with a high temperature with puncture wounds. A call back to the Sanctuary's team with the seals condition and advised to bring the seal in.
Back in the hospital the pup was given a full clinical assessment and weighed and found to be just 21 kilos. Its puncture wounds were cleaned and treated and a course of antibiotics started to fight any infection. This pup is a little boy and is around 10 weeks old and has been named Neville. |
