At 20kgs Link is underweight and she has a bad case of worms and lots of minor cuts and scrapes. She has been assessed by the vet who´s prescribed the dewormer, antibiotics and pain relief to help make her better.
As soon as the Animal Care Team have clear samples and she weighs 30kgs, Link will be released back into the Wash. Click here to see a larger version of this photo of Link.

Update - 23rd July 2016 : Link 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.
