Taransay, a 10 weeks old female grey seal pup, was rescued on the 10th of January 2001 from the Helford passage. She was clearly malnourished and also very dehydrated.
As she was a more lethargic animal than normal we decided to try a different technique of fluid therapy to rehydrate her. This involved giving her subcutaneous fluids by means of a drip for 48 hours. This new method replaces the normal techniques, which was stomach tubing every four hours.
