Barnaby, a 10 weeks old male grey seal pup, was rescued in Devon by the RSPCA and transferred to Gweek on 15th of January 2000.
He had superficial wounds to his body but otherwise was in reasonable condition. An ulcer on his eye meant he was kept dry for a number of days to enable the topical treatment to take effect. Barnaby was given water soon after and was rapidly moved down into a nursery pool. He was moved into the convalescent pool on the 5th of March 2000.
Barnaby´s flipper ID tag number is 33. He was released back into the wild on 11th May 2000 at Godrevy.
