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.
