Girl Grabbed by Sea Lion Treated for Rare ‘Seal Finger’ Disease
A girl dragged off a dock in Canada by a sea lion is being treated with antibiotics because of the risk of a dangerous infection.
Vancouver Aquarium said, it had been contacted by the girl’s family after staff had raised concerns about “seal finger”, which can lead to amputations.
The girl suffered a 10cm wound when the animal grabbed her with its jaws, her father told CBC News. He rejected claims that she had been trying to feed the marine mammal.
The video of her being pulled by the dress from the dockside in Richmond, British Columbia, and then rescued by her grandfather, has been widely shared on social media, prompting some users to suggest the family had been trying to feed sea lions. “There was somebody beside them that was trying to feed them,” said the father of the girl.
