Upon arrival at the Cornish Seal Sanctuary´s hospital, he was put into isolation pen where a full clinical assessment was carried out by members of the Animal Care Team. The pup was prescribed antibiotics as a precaution to fight any infections he may be harbouring. The pup was named Hubble.
Hubble Update - 24th February 2014 : Hubble has completed a course of treatment and will hopefully be moved down to the outside pools soon. He is a quiet seal and although he makes a lot of mess, he is eating fish for himself already!

Hubble currently weighs 23kgs.
