Don't forget to follow Tim's story - it's on an earlier post on this web site and in the ferry shed. He made an excellent recovery following a dog attack and was successfully released on 26 February.
Unfortunately two older koalas (a middle-aged female and an old male) were euthanased when diagnosed with untreatable kidney failure. Sadly, we also lost Jack, another dog attack victim who had been in care for quite awhile. He suffered further infections after his immune system shut down. This combined with pain and long term treatment took its toll and he couldn’t fight the new infections. Jack was euthanaised under vet's advice .
After 3 weeks in care, we successfully released a bronze wing pigeon that had been taken into care after an old wing injury became inflamed.
Please remember that most dog attacks have occurred during the night - so please keep dogs inside or restrained between dusk and dawn when koalas are on the move.

A special thank-you to all the wonderful residents who help us care for our island wildlife.
