Patient Updates
Lisa is recovering from an eye injury that is healing slowly but she is doing great. She recently moved into a pool with David and they are the best of friends. Lisa loves to lie under the hoses as they fill up her pool!
Lisa is still recovering from her eye procedure, she is doing well and in a new pool with her friend Cute Seal. She loves to watch her care takers through the window in her pool.
Lisa is almost ready for release but still needs to gain a little more weight. She is currently in our largest pre release pool.
Lisa in is our biggest pre release pool. She likes to keep her distance from her care takers, but competes well for fish and is gaining weight like a pro!
Lisa has shed nearly all her lanugo. What's left is her actual fur coat...
Lisa is looking pretty good these days, and is much more alert. But she's still tiny and needs a lot of sleep, so we rarely get to take a snapshot like this one...
This is day 2 for Lisa at the rescue centre, and she seems to be most comfortable under her heat lamp. She is currently housed in the comfort aisle of our quarantine area and being monitored closely.
Hi sweet baby!!
I helped rescue you yesterday with my friends, we are so pleased to see you are doing well, we named you Sookie as you were rescued from the Sooke Harbor, but I see you are now a Lisa, we wish you all the best and hope very much that you stay strong!
I’m very happy to know that we can follow your progress on here.
Stay well sweet little one!
Awe look at that beautiful face!! Glad to see that you are doing better little one. My friends and I helped rescue you yesterday from the Sooke harbor where you SO desperately wanted to just come up on the deck with us and be helped!! SO glad that we can follow your progress and glad that we were able to help get you rescued!! You will always be Sookie to us….as you were rescued in the Sooke Hatbour!! Hang in there little one…..hoping you make a full recovery as you have a lot of life yet to live!! Stay strong Lisa aka Sookie xoxo
Oh Sookie (Lisa), I am so happy to see that you are doing better after my friends and I helped you get rescued! It made me so sad to see you in distress, crying out and frantically trying to get up on the dock to us. I wanted to pick you up out of the water because it broke my heart but I know better than to impose on nature. We left that to the professionals. Wishing you a long, happy life full of friends and lots of fish!
This pup is named for my sister, who is in Arizona and definitely missing Vancouver. Having a little namesake at MMR will make her feel a little closer:) Thank you to the group of friends who who helped Lisa (aka Sookie.) Hopefully she can feel us all cheering her on!
Hi little baby! I adopted you for Father’s day! I can’t wait to see how you become a big baby seal! Love you!!!
Sweet Little One, it has been quite a while since we have gotten an update, I hope all is well and they are just waiting until you are no longer in quarantine.
I’m so happy you are there doing this work. I’m so happy that we can do this on our end to help. Okay Little darling Lisa you must heal and get better. You are with loving people who will make sure they are doing everything for you. May we all find healing together.
Wishing you lots of luck in your recovery! You’re almost there! Have fun with all your friends and keep up the good work! Love and hugs to you, little one! xoxo
Sweet Little One, I just read you are recovering from an eye procedure, I hope it was nothing major and only a tiny bump in your road to recovery.
As part of your original rescue team, we are wondering if release will be back here or if you will be released near Vancouver, we’d all love to be able to attend your release ?
hi!!! you are so cute! i’m so happy you are fine with cute seal. hope you are better soon!
