Update - 10th July 2019 : During the first few days in the seal hospital, Shakira was given fish soup with whole fish being slowly introduced to fatten her up. The Animal Care Team are very concerned about this pup who has a nasty infection. She has been prescribed antibiotics but she has a big fight ahead of her. Shakira and Beyonce are sharing the swim pool in the hospital.
