Treating patients @Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital

Gidget was found orphaned, by a kind member of the public in Morten Bay, Queensland.

She was transported by her rescuer to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital for a full veterinary assessment and treatment.

Upon arrival, Gidget received a full health assessment from the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital team. Thankfully, she was cleared of any serious injuries and found to have only minor bruising.

Gidget was placed in the Nursery ICU under close examination from the veterinary team. She was given fluids for dehydration and pain relief to aid a speedy recovery. Thanks to you, Gidget is well on the road to recovery. She has been placed with an experienced wildlife carer to raise her until she is old enough to be released back into the wild.

Opal was found on the ground and flightless in the main street of Nambour, Queensland. 

First taken to the Animal Emergency Service Vet in Tanawha, Opal was then transferred to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital by the Australia Zoo Rescue Team. 

On arrival, Opal appeared flat and reluctant to move or fly. After a full medical examination by Dr Danny and the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital team, it was determined that Opal had a concussion, most likely caused by an altercation with a car. Fortunately, she suffered no skeletal injuries.

She was placed in the Birds ICU, under close examination from the veterinary team. She received pain medication and IV fluids to aid a speedy recovery. 

Thanks to you, Opal is on the road to recovery and on her way to being released back into the wild in a safe area.
