Bauble was rescued on 3rd April 2016
Bauble, an approx. 3-4 months old male grey seal pup, was rescued from the beach at Sea Palling on 3rd April 2016. He was found with a broken bone in his back flipper and also suffering from lungworm. Bauble weighed 20kgs.

Local volunteer Stephanie came to the rescue and went to assess the pup, it was obvious the little seal needed some help, so she arranged to meet Nat, one of the Animal Care Team, at Sheringham then relay on to the hospital.

Update - 5th June 2016 : The Sanctuary have had the vets in to perform an operation to remove the broken digit in April 2016 and Bauble is just recovering from the surgery. At 40kgs she is already at release weight so as soon as Bauble is fully healed, she will be released back to the wild.
