Rescued Seal Pups This month saw the arrival of two rescued common seal pups. Cole was rescued from the Old Hunstanton Beach on 1st August 2010, she weighed 10kg. Cole had been attacked by a dog and suffered various wounds on her face and flippers, she was very dehydrated and malnourished. However, Cole is now responding well to her treatment and her wounds are healing nicely. She has a good appetite and can already eat up to 20 fish a day. Cole's current weight is 13.5kg. Beckham was rescued on 5th August 2010 from Scolt Head Island. Beckham had some nasty wounds which could have been afflicted by an adult seal. Since Beckham has been with us, he has been on various medications to try to heal his wounds which have responded well and are now almost fully healed. The next stage in his recovery is to get him eating for himself. Beckham´s current weight is 14.5kg. Click here to read Beckham's press release and view photos. Milo (rescued on 30th March 2010) is currently in the outdoor pool with our resident seals, Sally, Amber and Tyne. The wounds that Milo suffered to her flippers are completely healed and she has now reached her target weight of 30 kilos and is ready to be released. We are presently finalising her release details and will update you again as soon as we are able to confirm the time and date. Crouch has now been joined by Terry and Gerrard in the hospital´s weaning pool. These pups were rescued in June 2010.
