News Update April/May 2010

Milo, a common seal, who was rescued on 30th March 2010, now weighs 26kg. Milo was only around 21kg when she arrived and should have been approximately 35-40kg at her age. The good news is that Milo is now putting on weight. All her treatments have finished and she is now totally clear of worms and the wound on her front flipper is healing very nicely. We intend to move her out into the main pool in a few weeks time. Click here to see a larger version of the above photo collage of Milo.

Seal Rescue The animal care team is on call around the clock to race to the rescue of seal pups in trouble anywhere around the coast. Back at the Sanctuary, pups receive expert veterinary care and are gradually weaned from a liquid diet to whole fish in our purpose built hospital. Then it´s to the outdoor pools to gain weight and build strength and stamina ready to resume life in the wild. If you should discover a seal pup that seems to be in distress, or is alone, what you do next could mean the difference between life and death for the animal. DO keep your distance; DON´T attempt to handle the pup; DON´T attempt to put the pup in the sea; DON´T ignore the situation; DO tell the appropriate organisation. Call us at the Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary on 01485 533576 or contact your nearest RSPCA officer.
