| Piran - Rescued on 4th March 2008 |
 |
We received a phone call on Tuesday afternoon (4th March 2008) about a pup at Poldhu Cove. Dan and Rachael headed down to the beach and found the pup who on closer examination had a wound to the back just under the tail, and a couple of wounds to his front flippers. After calling Tamara, we all agreed that the pup would need to come back to Gweek. |
| Back at Gweek the pup was weighed and was 21.5 kilos but around 16 weeks old, so it was very malnourished for a pup of its age. The wounds were cleaned and treated and the pup was put on a course of antibiotics, pain relief and multi-vitamins and iron. The pup was named that evening as Kerensa, but the next morning we had to rename it to Piran. (Rachael's mistake) |  |
