Atria was emaciated at 88lbs underweight when she was found abandoned at Binnion Beach on the northwestern coast of Ireland
After caring for Atria for around four months, the charity released her back into the wild on Saturday, at Kiltennel Beach, approximately three miles from where she was originally found. She was released with Ptolemy, another pup the charity had cared for since February.
It went on:"We are amazed with how she has progressed during her time with us here at the centre and we are sure that she will continue to thrive out in the wild."When Atria first arrived at Seal Rescue Ireland, carers made sure she was rehydrated and her digestive system was working by giving her an electrolyte solution, before she was upgraded to a fish soup made of herring, salmon oil, and electrolytes.
According to the charity, grey seal pubs often quickly learn to eat by themselves, as they spend only the first two to three weeks of their lives with their mothers, compared with two to three months for common pups.
