Seal who had a yellow Frisbee trapped around her neck finally has it removed after half a year
The Atlantic grey seal, nicknamed Mrs Frisbee, became weaker as the plastic disc cut into her as she grew
VETS removed a frisbee from a seal’s neck six months after it got stuck on her while she swam.
Animal lovers had tried repeatedly to catch the creature because the plastic was cutting into her neck as she grew.
They finally cornered weakened Atlantic grey Mrs Frisbee on Horsey beach 12 miles north of Great Yarmouth, Norfolk.
She is recovering at an RSPCA hospital at East Winch near King’s Lynn.
Peter Ansell, who helped catch her, said: “The frisbee had cut in badly. She was dehydrated and malnourished.”
He said Mrs Frisbee was healing but it would take "two or three months".
"It was a really serious wound," he said. "She was badly dehydrated or malnourished.
"It will take time to bring her up to the right weight."
