Current Patients at MMSC

On Monday December 30th, we received a report of an injured seal lying on the beach in Mantoloking. When our Stranding Team arrived, they found an underweight female Harbor seal suffering from swelling in her left rear flipper, abrasions on her right rear flipper, and an injured left eye. The approximately two year old seal was likely born in the spring of 2023. She was immediately transported to MMSC for medical treatment and supportive care. Upon her arrival, staff administered fluids and flushed out her wounds. MMSC's veterinarian performed a full medical examination including bloodwork for further diagnostics. Oral medications and antibiotic eye drops have been started to prevent infection of her wounds. The subadult seal, who weighed 80lbs at intake, is resting comfortably in Pen 1 of the Pool House. She is currently being assist-fed by the Stranding Technicians.
