On April 22nd we received a report of a seal hauled out on the beach in Brigantine. The male Grey seal was an animal the Stranding Team had been monitoring since he was first sighted in Seaside Park three days earlier. The first few times he was observed, the seal was in good overall body condition, bright and active. When he was spotted again on Earth Day, the Stranding Technician noticed that he had developed edema (swelling) in his left rear flipper, indicating a recent injury that had become infected. The seal was admitted into the hospital for treatment. His intake weight was 56.2 lbs. The patient is currently being assist-fed by the Stranding Technicians, and is resting comfortably in Tub 8 of the Quonset Hut.
On April 17th we received a call for an injured seal in Long Branch. The female Grey seal was suffering from severe edema (swelling) in her right front flipper, and moderate edema with an open draining wound on her left front flipper. The seal was rushed to MMSC's hospital. Our veterinarian examined the seal, noting that she had a very large infected abscess in her right front flipper that had spread upwards towards her shoulder. The abscess was lanced, drained, and flushed to clean it out. Both oral and topical medication has been started to battle the infection, as well as pain medication to help keep her comfortable as she recovers. The pup's intake weight was 50 lbs. She is currently being assist-fed by the Stranding Technicians. This patient is currently resting comfortably in Tub 6 of the Quonset Hut, and is in stable but guarded condition due to the severity of the infection.
