Paige is a pup that is better known as the "tiniest" sea lion.
She came in underweight for her small frame.
Other pups in her same age group are 10-15 pounds heavier and 10 inches longer.
She is being tube fed a rich multi-milk formula 3-4 times a day. She shows interest
when offered small fish pieces, so she will soon be transferred to a diet of
herring pieces, sardines and smelt.
In the last months, we have cared for so many adult sea lions suffering from
the effects of Domoic Acid Poisoning.
Paige and other young animals like her bring a new sense of hope and purpose to
our volunteers and staff.
