Patient Updates
Jitterbug is a staff favourite, filled with personality. He was slow to learn how to compete with other seals and was in a small pool for a while, but he has done so well that he is now in our largest pre release pool. Good job Jitterbug!
After wrapping up fish school recently, Jitterbug has moved on to a training pool where he's for the first time meeting another seal and working on his food competition skills!
Hello Jitterbug, you look so soft and cute get strong and healthy 💗
Hi cute Jitterbug. You look like your covering your eyes and hiding away from the world which is too cute and funny. I don’t blame you b/c you are starting your life off having to struggle. Good news at MMRC they will take great care of you and give you lots of TLC. Stay strong so you can get well soon okay? Maybe some day you will feel good enough to dance the Jitterbug after your cute name. Be good little one!
