Head office received a call about a pup on Keiss beach near Wick. Local medic Kirsty Rose went to assess the pup and upon finding a thin weaned grey trying to get as far away from the water as possible, called back reporting that it should be uplifted. Another local medic Karl, went out with the necessary transport box, uplifted and then brought the pup to the hospital for assessment.
On assessment we found we had a weaned male grey seal, very malnourished weighing in at 13.8 kg and around 4 weeks old. No real injuries, just the usual scrapes. He was very dehydrated so as usual started on hydration fluid.

After 24 hours Chewbacca was started on his routine fish feeds and is putting on weight and progressing well. He has settled in well and swims most of the day eating his fish in the water and playing continouisly. Once of his antibiotics and wormer he should be fit to go to the outside pool.
