TINKERBELL was rescued on Boxing Day
|
Tinkerbell was rescued on Boxing Day from Porthmeor Beach in St. Ives. She was about six weeks old, underweight and malnourished. Seal pups of her age should normally weigh around 40kg, but Tinkerbell only weighed 16kg when she arrived at the Hospital! She is also very small for her age, and it is thought that she must have been separated from her mother before she was fully weaned.
Tinkerbell was aptly named by the animal care team, because of her bright silver coat. But, despite her delicate name and tiny physique, she has proven to be a surprisingly feisty Christmas admission to the hospital.
