SCARBOROUGH, Maine — A little seal pup was rescued from Scarborough Beach last week, and he has made a great transformation, according to the Marine Mammals of Maine.
They say at first, he was battling dehydration, elevated kidney values, a respiratory infection, and lethargy.
He made small and slow improvements with around the clock critical care over the first 3 days, but they saw major improvements over the weekend.
He finally felt good enough to have an appetite, and was strong and active enough to be upgraded to a bigger enclosure. Caretakers say they can't even sneak by his pool now without him waking up and demanding a snack.
If all goes well, he will be brought to another center for the remainder of his recovery.
