Story
We recovered this little pup from Abercastle beach. High up above the high tide line, this little guy was about 10kg under weight, dehydrated and tired. We took him in, rehydrated and fed him. Transferred to a seal hospital, he's on his way to recovery and release.
Seal pupping season, August to November, we get many calls to seal pups in need of care or rescue. Some are injured, others abandoned or have lost their mum. If needed we can usually recover the pup, keep them going for a few days with fish soup, whole fish and medication before being transported on to a larger facility for full rehabilitation and eventually release back into the wild. Many of the pups we rescue would not have survived without our intervention.
