Hastings area RSPCA centre appeals for salt donation to help rescued seal
Mallydams RSPCA Centre at Fairlight has launched an appeal for salt which it uses to heal the wounds of injured seals.
The centre is currently caring for an injured seal which they have named Sue Perkins.
A spokesperson said: “She is feeling quite rough, arriving recently with bite wounds to her flippers, tail, face and head. She also has a nasty cough, so probably has a parasite burden, too “We are running very low on salt, which we use to help heal open and infected wounds on injured seals. Sue is one of several patients that would hugely benefit from some healing salt floods “If you are in a position where you can donate to us - we use fine food-grade salt, usually in 25kg bags. They can be delivered to our address: Mallydams Wood, Peter James Lane, Fairlight, Hastings TN35 4AH.”
