Boodie had been observed on the beach at Terschelling for three days and his condition was visibly deteriorating. He was breathing very heavily and was skinny, indicating a severe lungworm infection. Care was necessary. At the centre, he was given medication against the lungworm and intensively cared for. He has since been allowed to slowly get used to the outdoor pool again.

Cheese
Date rehabilitation: 15-10-2024
Location: Terschelling
Cheese was found in very poor condition on Terschelling. He was struggling to breathe and unresponsive to his surroundings, which are symptoms of a lungworm infection. Because he was so sick, we decided to take him in at the seal centre immediately. Here he received medication and all the care he needed to recover well. Recently, he was allowed to go to Phase 2. Will you help him return to the Wadden Sea?
Kiwi
Date rehabilitation: 03-11-2024
Location: Noord-Holland
Seal Kiwi was the first common seal pup to come into our care this year. He was orphaned and born prematurely, but fortunately that did not stop him from growing into a strong and healthy seal. He was released in mid-July and enjoyed his freedom. In October, he was observed for a long time as he became increasingly short of breath and lost kilos, indicating a lungworm infection. Unfortunately, he was harassed on the beach to the extent that he could not recover on his own. Will you help him?
Shrimp
Date rehabilitation: 29-09-2024
Location: Terschelling
Shrimp was found on Terschelling with a large swelling on the right side of his face, wounds under his eye and a swelling on his tail. Due to the severity of his injuries, he was immediately taken to Pieterburen. He was about three months old and had a tag from another seal center, in Germany. By now, the swelling on his face has fortunately reduced a lot, but he is still receiving intensive care. Will you contribute to his full recovery?
Johannes
Date rehabilitation: 31-08-2024
Location: Schiermonnikoog
Johannes was found with a swollen flipper, heavy breathing and multiple wounds. Due to his poor condition, it was decided to take him to Pieterburen immediately. One of the wounds on his flipper was diagnosed with a bone infection. Therefore, the best option for Johannes was to amputate a finger from his hind flipper. Johannes is recovering very well from the operation and his other wounds are also healing well. Will you help him return to the Wadden Sea?
