Symbolic Adoption
You can help us care for BeaverTail and the more than 100 marine mammals we rescue, rehabilitate and release every year by symbolically adopting her today with a small donation to the rescue centre.
Patient Progress
Milk Matrix BeaverTail is being fed a milk formula that mimics the milk she would receive from her mother. This formula is high in fat and promotes weight gain. She will eventually be weaned onto fish.
Patient Updates
She seemed okay in the morning when we first found her, but as the day went on, she became slower and more lethargic. I contacted Marine Mammal Rescue and sent them a video of this little cutie. After reviewing it, their veterinarian determined that she needed to be rescued. A team member arrived just 40 minutes later. I am sooo glad she’s doing well :) I visit this site every day for updates and to see how all these little pups are doing.
