LUNDY was rescued on 3rd January 2001

Lundy, a 12 weeks old male grey seal pup, was rescued on the 3rd of January 2001 from the beach at Penzance.   He had been spotted by a member of the public, when he had hauled himself out to get away from the rough sea.   He was clearly underweight and seem to have an eye complaint.

Once back at the hospital we were able to examine the eye and concluded it was a ulcer, that had been there for some time, as it had started to heal.   He is being treated with eye drops 6 times a day to help the healing process.

Update: 28th February 2001 - Lundy´s ulcers have now healed and he is in convalescent pool. He is a very cheeky and noisy pup who can often be heard singing at the top of his voice before feeding time!

Lundy has completed his rehabilitation and was released back into the wild on 26th June 2001 at Praa Sands.

His flipper ID tag number is 66.
