September 2013: Busy month for sick and injured koalas and 3 babies in the nursery

Baby Ali - kangaroo joey

A male koala was taken into care after sustaining a hand injury and he was treated and released. However after sustaining another injury to his claw he was taken into care again. He was treated and successfully released after a month in care. We have a young male koala in care due to severe malnourishment he will be in care long term and released once well again.

A female koala unfortunately had to be euthanaised after falling from a tree when the branch she was sitting on, broke in strong winds. She sustained a broken pelvis and torn popliteal ligament. Two koalas were found dead on the side of the road, unknown cause of death, however body condition was very poor.
