Mouth Rot: The hidden threat facing our seals 🦭💔

Once again we have sadly seen a large number of weaned common seal pups suffering with a condition called ‘mouth rot’- a disease that results in severe lesions in the mouth and can ultimately result in the death of the pup. It is both a concern for animal welfare and for conservation.

BDMLR is part of a now 5-year long study working to explore the possible cause of this condition working alongside a team at the Teesside University, with support from the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme-, and funded by the government body Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra)

Questions about the project can be sent to our email address: [email protected]

As always, we want to thank our hard-working partners and supporters for their vital assistance, including BDMLR Medics, veterinary personnel, and rehabilitation centre staff. This work would not be possible without you!
