Orphaned Harbor Seal Pup

July 28, 2021

This 14-day-old harbor seal pup was found orphaned up on Camano Island last week. Members of the Marine Mammal Stranding Network observed the seal to ensure the mother was no longer around before bringing him to the Wildlife Center. He arrived in poor body condition, dehydrated, and with an injury to his left eye. His weight and energy have increased, but we are still treating the eye injury. If you ever suspect a marine mammal is in distress, please contact your local Marine Mammal Stranding Network. They will respond and know the best course of action for the situation.
