After months of care and with good weather on our site the GSPCA released Marty the Jersey seal pup back in the wild today and it was without doubt one of the best releases ever for the GSPCA team.
This Winter has been exceptionally busy for seal pups at the GSPCA as up until this morning we have had 6 in our care but thanks to a lovely Jersey family and their boat Marty is now back in the wild.
Marty arrived at the GSPCA on the 17th December just a week before Christmas last year weighing just 18kg when he should have been 40kg.

Today is #InternationalSealDay and with our 6 seal pups at the GSPCA we really need your support.
We currently have an Urgent Fish appeal to help our seal pups for ideally mackerel or herring but any sea fish that has been caught in the last 3 months would be hugely appreciated.
Eating at least 20-30 fish each per day we are going through over 150 fish a day and with the recent rough weather many fishermen that support us have been unable to go out.
Steve Byrne GSPCA Manager said “Today is #InternationalSealDay and at the GSPCA we have 6 currently in our care.”

Today has been a very busy day as a second poorly seal pup from Jersey has arrived at the GSPCA.
Marty as he has been named was rescued by the Jersey British Divers Marine Life Rescue yesterday on Green Island beach.
He spent the night at New Era Vets and was transported kindly by Blue Islands from Jersey to Guernsey.
He is only 18kgs and appears much older than Andrew that arrived last month form Jersey. Despite being 6 to 8 weeks of age he has a number of ailments from a chest infection to his emaciated condition.

Last month Andrew was rescued starving and dehydrated.
Found on a beach in Jersey this very poorly seal pup is lucky to still be alive.
Andrew is till very weak having been found only a couple of days old and in such a bad condition and the GSPCA team are working around the clock to do all they can for this very poorly grey seal pup.
Having had a series of treatments and fluids we are now appealing for donations of mackerel and herring.

Last week Andrew the Jersey Grey Seal Pup was rescued and transported to the GSPCA.
At only 17kgs and less than a week old this very pretty young seal pup should have still been with his mum and not in the emaciated condition as he was found.
Andrew has a very bad chest infection and desperately underweight and has been receiving care around the clock day and night.

Today a grey seal pup rescued in Jersey on Sunday at just 11.5kg has just arrived at the GSPCA in Guernsey.
Trevor as the 2 week old pup has been named has joined Temperance of a similar age at the GSPCA seal unit in Guernsey.
Both pups are around a quarter the weight they should weigh and both very weak so are in intensive care at the GSPCA.
The Jersey pup was rescued by the local branch of the British Divers Marine Life Rescue and was discovered severely underweight at L’Etacq.
