| Rosie was rescued on New Year's Day |
| On New Year's Day the sanctuary received a telephone call from a local volunteer group about a seal pup at Porthgwidden Beach near St Ives. Due to the information given on the telephone, the Animal Care Team decided that the seal pup needed to be brought to the Sanctuary.
When the pup arrived at the sanctuary, it was put straight into isolation where the seal was given a clinical assessment, the weight was 15 kilos and 8 weeks old, which is very malnourished for a pup of that age, and started on a course of antibiotics. Her wounds were cleaned and treated. This pup is a little girl and has been named ROSIE. Click here to read Rosie's press release. |  |
