Patient Updates
Dawn has been moved to one of our pre release pools where she can compete with 7 other seals in deeper water. So far she is doing great, but still needs to gain some more weight before release.
While Carlita has been moved to a new pool, Dawn has quickly found a new friend…Cotopaxie! These girls are attached at the hip and love to sun bathe on their haul out.
Dawn suckles anything and everything, and will in fact choose suckling over eating. Not ready to grow up?
Dawn is currently in a pool together with Carlita ─ and they're the cutest thing ever.
Dawn has been fully weaned and is eating only herring now! She has almost graduated from fish school!
She still looks a bit skinny, but there's progress! She seems to be doing well.
Hoping you make a strong and healthy recovery Dawn; you got a cheer section wishing you all the best!
Keep on progressing Dawn! You’re doing great! <3
Amazing to see Baby Dawn making friends and doing well! Keep it up lil’ girl!
So glad to see Dawn progressing so well! Keep up the amazing work!
So close Dawn! Keep up the fantastic work
