Now very late in the seal pup season the GSPCA thought 4 would be all that would need out help this winter until this weekend.

Mambo as the grey seal pup has been named was rescued at Fort Doyle.

The very thin poorly pup has a chest infection and discharge and is now in the intensive care area for seal pups at the GSPCA.

Geoff George Head of Marine Mammals said “We certainly don’t expect to have to rescue a 5th seal pup on the weekend.”

Since November 2016 Dr Ben Howitt BVSc MRCVS has worked closely with the team at the GSPCA to help care for the thousands of animals through the doors every year.

When Ben joined the team at Isabelle Vets it wasn’t long before each week he would attend the GSPCA for the main vet check days and very quickly a wonderful relationship was established.

Ben with his friendly, helpful and caring nature was a fantastic help not only to the many sick and injured animals, but also to the GSPCA team.

Submitted by Steve on 10:43, 24th Jan, 2019 | 0

Harley the staffy has been at the GSPCA for just over a month looking for a home so spent her Christmas at the GSPCA.

This very sweet, loving dog has stolen the hearts of the staff and volunteers and indeed everyone she meets.

Earlier this week Harley visited Isabelle Vets for a spay check to ensure she was neutered.

All of Harleys health checks since her arrival showed a healthy staffy but when she went to the vets and was put under anesthetic they found a very angry, rapid growing growth an one of her legs.

Nicki the Barn owl released back to the wild after 7 weeks of care

Submitted by Steve on 16:42, 17th Jan, 2019 | 0

Yesterday the GSPCA team released a female Barn Owl that was rescued on the 3rd December last year.

The bird that has been called Nicki was found injured in the road on L’Ancresse and on arrival the team thought her chances of survival were very slight.

If the finder Nick Fitzgerald hadn’t have rescued the bird she surely wouldn’t still be alive.

The rescuer actually saw Nicki fly into the side of a car which and he thankfully managed to stop and catch the bird and transported her to the GSPCA.
