Ecco was rescued on 25th June 2016
|
Ecco, a one week old common seal pup, was rescued from Old Hunstanton beach on 25th June 2016 along with another pup with a broken jaw.
Ecco is a completely healthy pup but because she was separated from her mum at such a young age, she must stay in the hospital until she is old enough to fend for herself.

She feeds very well and the Animal Care Team hopes to have her eating whole fish all on her own very soon. Ecco is very vocal and loves attention. The team hope to have the pup back out in the wild very soon.

Update - 23rd July 2016 : Ecco has sadly passed away; it is always very sad when one of the rescued pups dies but sometimes these little ones just don´t have enough anti-bodies and strength in them to pull through, despite the best efforts of all the staff at Hunstanton SEA LIFE Sanctuary.
