❗Patient update❗ EL2525 (orphaned female sea otter pup admitted from Homer, name TBD)

In this video, you’ll see a glimpse of what an admit exam looks like for an orphaned pup when they first arrive to the ASLC.

This young female northern sea otter pup arrived at the Alaska SeaLife Center in critical condition after being found alone and emaciated on a beach near Homer on October 20, 2025. Estimated to be less than two months old, she was extremely malnourished, dehydrated, anemic, and too weak to vocalize during her first exam, which immediately concerned our veterinary team.
Since her arrival, our team has been providing intensive, 24-hour treatment to help her stabilize. She is slowly gaining weight and strength, but she continues to face challenges that require close monitoring.

Thank you for caring about these animals the way we do! If you’d like to be part of this pup’s recovery journey, your support truly makes a difference: https://www.alaskasealife.org/donate
