Patient Updates

Tess was released after 98 days in our care.

You can see the list of all animals released at this release in the release record.

Oh Tess, look at you! Almost ready for release, and all grown up!

Tess is almost ready for release! She is getting bigger and bigger, but still always wondering where the fish are. She is as vocal as she was when she was a pup and always has a story to tell her carers.

Tess has been moved to a pre release pool and is doing well. She is still very vocal and loves to chat with her fellow pool mate and her care takers.

Tess may be the most vocal and talkative seal on site. She has so many stories to tell and will shout them at her care takers from across the facility.

Tess is still in quarantine where she can stay warm under a heat lamp. She is being fed formula and still getting fluids to help with hydration.
