“We started noticing he wasn’t well and got him an emergency appointment at the vets.

“I don’t know if there’s been jellyfish around when he’s been in the sea or if it’s been whatever he’s rolled in near the rocks.”

Speaking to the Gazette on Tuesday, Steph said that the infection had spread and Toby is on antibiotics.
