Blitzen was rescued on 9th December 2015 Blitzen, 3-4 week old male grey seal pup, was rescued from Mundesley by members of the Animal Care Team after a call from Stephanie, one of the seal rescue volunteers, on 9th December 2015. The pup was severely dehydrated and very underweight at only 18kgs. Blitzen also had a very swollen muzzle and lots of small bite wounds to his shoulders, hips and flippers.

Update - 17th December 2015 : Blitzen has now completed his course of antibiotics, he is now looking much brighter and already eating fish for himself. The pup still has a long way to go but with lots of TLC from the Animal Care Team he´ll be fighting fit soon enough. Click here to see a large version of this photo. Update - 11th January 2016 : Blitzen was moved from the hospital to the outside seal enclosure on 8th January 2016 for his next stage of rehabilitation and to learn how to compete for fish with the resident seals. Blitzen is eating really well and has put on an astounding amount of weight - 32kg now! His flipper tag number 160 (blue). Update - 12th February 2016 : Blitzen and another seal pup named Rudolph were released back to the wild at Winterton beach on 11th February 2016. Weighing 40kgs and 45kgs respectively they have successfully been rehabilitated and have been released in the same area they were rescued from! As Blitzen and Rudolph happily bounded back into the waves, it was a lovely surprise to meet the couple who reported Rudolph in distress back in December 2015. Each pup can cost up to £5,000 to rescue, rehabilitate and release, if you would like to adopt a pup or make a donation towards this pup´s rehabilitation at Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary, please Click here for more details.
