10-day-old seal pup Joey 'wouldn't have made it' without being rescued

A seal pup is receiving "around the clock care" at the GSPCA after being rescued from Les Écréhous.

Joey, who is thought to be just ten days old, was a very thin 18kg when he was picked up by the British Divers Marine Life Rescue in the early hours of Sunday morning (8 November).

The pup stayed at New Era Vets in Jersey overnight, before being transported to Guernsey.

The GSPCA has also issued the following advice to anyone who sees a seal pup:

• Do not approach it, or let dogs anywhere near them

• Take a picture and send to the GSPCA

• Call the GSPCA
