Yesterday the BDLMR rescued the second poorly seal pup in Jersey this week.
After a stay at New Era Vets she was transported to Guernsey this morning and is now in an intensive care unit
Geoff George GSPCA Head of Marine Mammals said “Today's 430 am new arrival is Jen or Jem as we’ve nicknamed her is a grey seal pup from Jersey.”
“She is very, very poorly and only 11kg.”
“She's about 2 weeks older than Faulkner who arrived yesterday and is much bigger despite the age difference.”
“We are really worried for her as she is so poorly.”
Often during the autumn months with the high winds and stormy weather makes it difficult for wild animals and birds to feed and rest.
During and after stormy weather the GSPCA are asking those that live around and visit our coast to please watch out for injured animals in need as well as seal pups which can get separated from their mothers at this time of year especially when we see bad weather.
We have a number of web pages with wildlife advice or you can call 01481 257261 for help 24/7
The GSPCA today carried out the fourth seal pup release of 2023.
