Seal Sitters on alert for sick adult seal

Seal Sitters responded to a call about an adult seal on the beach New Years Day. The seal was exhibiting convulsive behavior which was recorded on video and sent to NOAA and Fish and Wildlife. Due to the holiday, there was limited response available to evaluate and relocate the seal for treatment; however, motions were put into action to do so the following day.

Seal Sitters volunteers kept watch over the seal on a very blustery and rainy afternoon. He exhibited more normal behavior with less tremors as the afternoon wore on. The seal returned to the water when the high tide swept over him. Assessment of the video has determined that the seal may be suffering from neurological problems. Please help SS keep an eye out for him. Report any seal on the beach immediately to dispatch @ 206-905-7325 (SEAL).
