Richard, you are in Oregon? Has anybody contacted the Oregon Marine Mammal Stranding Network, based at the Oregon State University Hatfield Marine Science Center in South Beach? (I got that in a Google search.) The injury might not be sufficient to require that the animal be brought in for rehab. But one of the pros should take a look, especially given its age and the possibility that it might have been prematurely weaned.

Joe,
This was two weeks ago and I'm back in L.A. now. I did think of possibly contacting someone when I was there, but didn't know whom.

I like the way the animal is looking and the clarity in the entire image which shows the animal and wound so well.
