Rex was rescued on 4th June 2018
|
Rex, common seal pup, was rescued on 4th June 2018. He was found on a pile of discarded fishing nets on a beach on the Isle of Syke.
It was very clear that he had been born prematurely as he still had his baby fur and his umbilicus was intact.
Common seals usually shed this fur in the womb and are born with their adult fur.

After a coordinated rescue effort he was brought to the seal hospital and immediately given fluids. The vet checked Rex over and gave him a clean bill of health.
Apart from being skinny and weak, he hopefully make a full recovery and be released back into the wild once he can fend for himself.
