At this time of the year pup rescues should start to slow down, and yet there is no end to the current rescue season in sight.
The last two pups also came in on the same day, and both are little boys.
First into the hospital was Bullseye who was rescued from Godrevy on 22nd January 2011. He was picked up by the BDMLR and transferred to the Sanctuary and into the hospital´s isolation pen. The team carried out a clinical assessment and weighed 15 kilos and was around 6 weeks old. He was malnourished with cuts to rear flippers and a positive stain to his left eye and a course of antibiotics was started including a course of eye drops.
Update: Bullseye has now been moved through to the main hospital and is self feeding on fish, he just needs to put on a little more weight before being moved outside to the nursery pools.

| The second to arrive the same day was Wall-E another little boy but this time from Mousehole, with the team busy doing a clinical assessment on Bullseye, the BDMLR asked to collect the pup.

An hour or so later the pup arrived at the sanctuary and was put into an isolation pen, so the team could start an assessment.
| |
Wall-E weighed 19.5 kilos with puncture wounds to rear flippers and problems breathing.

Update: Wall-E is now self feeding and his having water in his pen on a daily basis and in the next few weeks will move outside to the nursery pools.
