Jonathon the Jersey seal pup needing around the clock care - please donate to Sami and Jonathan at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 14:19, 18th Jan, 2017 | 0

On Saturday the first seal pup of 2017 was rescued and brought to the GSPCA from Jersey.

Jonathon as the young animal has been called is needing 24/7 around the clock intensive care due to his thin and very ill health.

Full of worms and with a number of injuries the vets and team at the GSPCA are providing this very poorly seal with all he needs to help ensure he survives at this very delicate time.

Sami who was rescued just after Christmas in Jersey is improving daily although months away from being well enough to be released back into the wild.

Lucky cormorant survives fish hook through her system now back in the wild

Submitted by Steve on 21:37, 13th Jan, 2017 | 0

Last Sunday GSPCA Warden Suzy Rose was called out to a very poorly large seabird.

The bird was identified as a comorant and staff were concerned for its health due to line possibly attached to a hook inside the bird so it was taken to Isabelle Vets.

The bird was examined by Vet Ben Howitt who decided to x-ray the cormorant that the GSPCA staff has named 'Lady in Black'.

The x-ray clearly showed a hook inside Lady in Black and so the bird needed 5 days worth of care and a little luck to help her back to the wild.
