This is pic from August last year of a local koala in better times. “Liz” was taken to a nearby koala shelter about a month ago, suffering from what appeared to be a bout of chlamydia. She didn’t respond to treatment at all and so the carer took her back to the vet yesterday. The Vet did a scan and found a large jagged stone in her bladder (like a diamond) so he immediately operated and removed it. Her wet bottom was not due to chlamydia as suspected but a result of the bladder stone. My understanding is that Vets donate their time to wildlife which is pretty good to know. Fingers crossed she recovers now and they can release her back into her territory.

I had a vet friend who was a legend in his own lifetime for operating on a budgie for a hernia.
At least that’s what he told his kids.

Wouldn’t you love to snuggle up on the couch on a cold Sat evening watching the Dons with your pet croc (or gator)…

Well, the croc might. It would be stealing your body heat!
On You Tube there is a clip of Mexican guy who rescued and nursed a croc back to health, after it had been shot in the head. This thing is pretty much full grown, and would be close to 4m in length. It exists in a shallow pool beside his house, barely big enough to fit in.
