|
This little common seal pup was rescued from Mundesley beach on 18th October 2016 after being found with blood around his mouth. On checking him over it was apparent his breathing was very heavy suggesting he may have a lungworm infection.
Jax is approximately 3 months old and should be eating for himself already.
