Remember Hudson?

He had the most horrific skin, with a mixed condition of bacterial infection, Candida growth and ringworm on his skin 🦠🤢😢

His skin got worse before it got better, his hair fell out and he looked a sad sight

I had to follow quarantine measures as ringworm is highly contagious.
Well guys I contracted ringworm anyway 🤦🏻‍♀️ 🦠 sporting 17 lesions!! It was horrible and slightly impressive at the same time 🤪
My doctor was disappointed that I didn’t bring the kangaroo with me to my doctors appointment 🤣🤪

After 8 weeks of medications for Hudson his skin resolved and his hair started growing back 🙌❤️ he’s now such a handsome beautiful looking boy ( see the last photo)

After 2 weeks of medication 💊 for myself, I’m now clear too 🙌

Im just so pleased Hudson has made a full recovery ❤️🥰

Meet Emily 💝
she’s a tiny Western Grey kangaroo joey weighing only 460g

Her mum was hit by a car and sadly died, leaving Emily orphaned. Fortunately she was rescued by Lisa Unnasch and taken into care.

With a suspected broken wrist and grazes on her face tail and legs from the road she was sent to me for specialised nursing care and treatment.

Luckily her wrist was not broken just very swollen from the open wounds and trauma, after cleaning the area her wounds were dressed and she’s rocking an awsome hot pink bandage 🥰

Emily is doing well after being in care for a week already, she is small but mighty 💪 and is not shy by call out when she wants her bottle.

Did you know that babies this small need to be bottle fed every 4 hours around the clock ⏰ yes that’s right 5 feeds a day 🍼 she certainly keeps me busy!

We are wishing her a speedy recovery ❤️‍🩹

26/06/2024

This poor Red kangaroo joey “Hudson” has the most sever fungal skin infection covering his entire body that I have ever seen 😭🦠

He was sent to me for intensive Nursing treatment and care 🥰
After a full examination, and testing at the vets he now has an assortment of medications to help cure his nasty skin.

Although he smells and looks yucky 😕 he has a personality that lights up the room, he holds his ears up tall and straight with confidence, he calls out demanding his milk bottle 🍼 and loves a chest scratch throwing his head back with enjoyment 🥰

Continue to shine bright Hudson ⭐️
We have get this 👊

A flash Back to 2015 I think it was the Sampson flat Bushfires so many bushfires I can’t Evan remember what fire it was!! 🤷‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
One of my beautiful koalas that was helping himself to the freshly picked leaf in drums 🤣 certainly had a good appetite ❤️
This boy made a full recovery and was released several weeks later after sustaining burns to all 4 feet 🙌❤️

Baby Blitzen 🐨

Another baby who lost his mum 😞
He’s been in care for the past week being Stabilised and to get started on bottle feeding.

He’s doing great and it quite the character 🤪 who loves doing zoomies, runs all over the tree and gives the odd playful Nip, I have a few battle wounds 🤦🏻‍♀️

Blitzen has now returned to 1300Koalaz to his long term carer joining Heidi 🐨 and Holly 🐨 ❤️

Baby Holly 🐨
She was found by herself with no mother to be found 😞
the wonderful volunteers at 1300Koalaz spent multiple days searching for her mum to avail 🤷‍♀️
Holly came to me for her initial work up including bloods, urinalysis and to get started on bottle feeding.
She has adapted to her new surroundings ravenously eating gum and taking bottles well.
Holly is happy and healthy and now ready to go to her long term carer who will raise her through to release with 1300Koalaz

Farewell Holly I hope you continue to thrive 🥰❤️

Baby Keira developed Oxolate Nephrosis 😭
It’s so devistating after all the hard work and effort to pull her through her initial injuries 😞 for this to happen
Many of the babies that come into care have this genetic predisposition, it’s just so sad

Baby Wren has come down with the dreaded oxalate nephrosis 😭

You can see her urine sample under the microscope full of crystals.

It’s a nasty nasty disease taking koalas lives 😞 causing severe renal damage and failure.

Wren has been given peace and is with her mother once more in the clouds and trees ⛅️ 🌲

11 years ago today this photo was taken.
This is baby Olivia ❤️🥰🐨
This was before the days of Facebook so she never got to meet you all
Olivia was saved from The Port Lincoln Bushfires triaged at Port Lincoln Vet and flown to adelaide by plane.
Her mother died in the flames 🔥😭 and Olivia sustained minor burns to all 4 paws.
Looking back it brings tears to my eyes that she survived 🥰🙌
many many months later after hand raising her I flew her back to Mikkira Station Koala Sanctuary
Mikkira Station Koala Sanctuary where she was released.
It also brings so much joy that the land owners reported she had several joeys in the years to come ❤️ what a success.
I will always remember you Olivia 🥰🩷

UPDATE: - Already we have been contacted by some amazing people. Thank you FB Community for your help and support in getting our message out. Will keep you posted!

Help Adelaide Community!!! Please share this story with anyone or any company who could help out in our time of need.

After years of service, our outdated business copier/printer/scanner has died and we desperately need a new (or used one) that is capable of meeting our needs! Do you know of a business or company that wants to help wildlife in a unique way - by donating us a copier! Maybe your business is upgrading to a newer model, you have a spare not being used or your company wants to give back to a Adelaide charity?

The printer needs to be able to do multi sized pages, in colour. Like the image attached as an example (but any brand). And of course, need to be in full working order.

We will be so grateful for your help. Thank you.

The story of Keira 🐨
Keira and her mother were hit by a bus on the O’Barn a week ago, sadly her mum died at the scene 😭

The force of the impact threw Keira from her mum and she landed under the cement pillars of the o’barn, she couldn’t be seen from above 😢 nobody knew she was there.

Baby Keira was found around 18 hours after the initial accident 😭😭 thanks to the 1300Koalaz team as soon as they hurd about this situation a rescue mission was activated and Keira was rescued and received imediate veterinary treatment at SASH - Small Animal Specialist Hospital Adelaide. (Great work guys) 🥰 a special shout out to Vanessa her rescuer.

Keira was in a critical condition with clear facial injuries, dull mentation, dehydrated and in shock.

I nursed her around the clock to stabilise her condition so further testing and imaging could be performed 👩🏻‍⚕️

A CT scan revealed multiple facial fractures which should heal themselves with rest and care.

Unfortunately Keira had ruptured her right eye globe loosing vision in this eye, she will require surgery down the track to have it surgically removed.

Keira was named after Keira Knightley from the movie 🏴‍☠️ Pirates of the Caribbean: Tides of War now only having one eye she had joined the crew and is now a Pirate 🏴‍☠️ 😜 and proven to be quite the fighter 💪

Keira has continued to improve every day and the Veterinary Surgeons are happy with her progress.

After spending a week in a basket set up recovering Last night she climbed the inside tree for the first time and spent the entire night in the tree munching on leaf 🐨

Blake forever 9 months old

After a lengthy battle with sever pneumonia baby Blake was kindly Euthanised today 😭 This is not the happy ending I had been praying for. Unfortunately he had severe static pneumonia that was non responsive to treatment and it was time to let him go to ensure that he didn’t suffer. He was the bravest little warrior that had so much spice, fight and spunk about him. Baby Blake Forever 9 months old 😢 May you rest in your mum Betty’s arms and be reunited together again in the gum trees amongst the clouds. I tried my best for baby Blake and nursed him around the clock for months. I’m so sorry that I couldn’t save him 😭 my heart is broken 💔 Behind the scenes there is an army of people that help and support me and the work that I do. A huge thank you to Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Centre for all their amazing care and treatment. Thank you to SASH - Small Animal Specialist Hospital for your imaging specialised work ups. A huge thank you to everyone from 1300Koalaz for rescuing Blake and his mum Betty, bringing me fresh Eucalyptus leaves, PAP, and coffee. A special mention to Sally H, Laura M, Chris W, Lorraine T, and Rae & Sue your dedication to koalas is commendable 🙏 thank you 🙏 If you would like to make a donation in Blake’s memory to support ongoing wildlife treatment and rehabilitation details are below: BSB 923100 ACC 806892392 PayPal.Me/wildlifenursesa #Wildlifenursesa #koalarescue #Wildlife #Conservation #Wildlifesanctuary #Koala #Koalas #Marsupials #Marsupialsofinstragram #Australianwildlife #Wildlifecarer #Wildlifelovers #Animalphotography #Wildliferehabilitation #Nature #Australiannature #SouthAustralia #Wildlifenurse #Wildlifewarrior #Loveyourvet #Wildlifevet #Savingkoalas #Savingsakoalas #Cityofportadelaideenfield #1300KOALAZ #Cityofcharlessturt #Blake

After a really rough 9 days with Baby Blake battling Pneumonia he has finally turned the corner and showing signs of improvement 🙌🐨💙 Blake has spent the week sleeping during the day in an oxygen chamber with his pouch and teddy to help support his lungs 🫁 and help oxygen rich blood perfuse around his body. At night he has spent time in his inside tree eating, climbing, playing and sleeping. Blake is not compleatly out of the danger zone yet! He is still on a combination of medications and nebulisation treatments. He has showed signs significant of improvement over the last 2 days that in itself is totally worth celebrating🙌 💙 This boy is strong and has proven to be a real fighter 💪 your support and well wishes have been greatly received he must have felt the love I’m sure 💙🐨 In the video below you can see Blake eating some Maleluca this is a known natural medicine plant for koalas 🐨 his body obviously knows what it needs.

Baby Blake has come down with Pneumonia this is a post that I didn’t want to make 😫😢 As you can see in the video he is still bright and alert but there are small signs that’s he’s not feeling his normal spicy self! The slightly drop in his ears increased respiratory rate Slight discoloured chin Reduced leaf intake X-rays and Ultrasound have confirmed pneumonia We don’t know why or how this has happened 🤷‍♀️ The vets are thinking it might be caused by lung trauma from when he originally presented being thrown from his mum after being hit by a car. The inflammation in his lungs have then made him susceptible to the pneumonia. Although he is still bright The reality is that there is only a 50/50 chance of survival for koala joeys with this condition😭 He has been receiving around the clock care for the last week of nebulisation, medications and oxygen therapy. And regular Veterinary rechecks. Please send thoughts and prayers his way as he’s going to need everything in his favour to fight this battle 🙏💪 he is strong and I’m praying he will be ok 💕🐨 Please Like and Follow to keep updated on precious Australian wildlife in care ❤️ #Wildlifenursesa #koalarescue #Wildlife #Conservation #Wildlifesanctuary #Koala #Koalas #Marsupials #Marsupialsofinstragram #Australianwildlife #Wildlifecarer #Wildlifelovers #Animalphotography #Wildliferehabilitation #Nature #Australiannature #SouthAustralia #Wildlifenurse #Wildlifewarrior #Loveyourvet #Wildlifevet #Savingkoalas #Savingsakoalas #Cityofportadelaideenfield #1300KOALAZ #Cityofcharlessturt #Blake

Baby Blake munching and crunching his Blue gum eucalyptus for dinner💙 Did you know there is over 800 species of Eucalyptus in Australia 😱 but koalas don’t eat all varieties. Australia wide Koalas only eat around 40 eucalyptus species In South Australia koalas only eat around 10 of those Species. Tonight Blakes dinner consists of 2 different species of Blue gum, Red gum, Manna Gum, and a warm bottle of koala milk to top it off 🍼 #Wildlifenursesa #koalarescue #Wildlife #Conservation #Wildlifesanctuary #Koala #Koalas #Marsupials #Marsupialsofinstragram #Australianwildlife #Wildlifecarer #Wildlifelovers #Animalphotography #Wildliferehabilitation #Nature #Australiannature #SouthAustralia #Wildlifenurse #Wildlifewarrior #Loveyourvet #adelaidehills #Wildlifevet #Savingkoalas #Savingsakoalas #Cityofportadelaideenfield #1300KOALAZ #Cityofcharlessturt # #Blake

In Australia it’s nearly midnight. The house is quiet everyone is asleep, my children, the dogs, the cat. Except Blake the koala joey! 🐨 He is bright eyed and as nocturnal as they come 😳he’s busy climbing his indoor tree, munching eucalyptus leaves, and doing some yoga in the tree tops 🤪 At only 900g he fits in my hand 🖐️ he looks big strong and confident in the tree but he is young at heart and still a baby. The minute he gets stuck, scared, wants milk or unsure of himself he sings out for help for me to assist him. His fur is soft and cuddly and his claws sharp like knives to hang onto those trees. After a very rocky start Blake has finally settled in care after loosing his mum last week. he’s drinking his koala milk formula a lot better and is putting on weight 💪 Check out the little guy being so adorable doing his koala thing ⬇️ Don’t forget to like and follow my page ✅ Help me spread the word by sharing this post with your friends, family, and social media networks Donations welcome: Wildlife Nurse SA BSB 923100 ACC 806892392 PayPal.Me/wildlifenursesa Thank you for your support! 🐨🌿 #Wildlifenursesa #koalarescue #Wildlife #Conservation #Wildlifesanctuary #Koala #Koalas #Marsupials #Marsupialsofinstragram #Australianwildlife #Wildlifecarer #Wildlifelovers #Animalphotography #Wildliferehabilitation #Nature #Australiannature #SouthAustralia #Wildlifenurse #Wildlifewarrior #Loveyourvet #Wildlifevet #Savingkoalas #Savingsakoalas #Cityofportadelaideenfield #1300KOALAZ #Cityofcharlessturt # #Blake

In the murray land floods you can see in the video below are makeshift wombat burrows which the wombats made for shelter as they were pushed from their homes by rising water. I commited myself to not leave them behind! I monitored these borrows with a team of volunteers during the floods for weeks. And when the timing was right - rescue the lot Stay tuned for my next post - when the wombats got flooded out of their homes with no where to go and a huge rescue mission was launched 💪 Having to borrow boats and organise logistics highlighted the critical need for proper equipment so we can rescue wildlife straight away without delay. We need our own boat Please like and share to your friends family and networks If everyone donated $5 we would reach our target 🙌 https://www.gofundme.com/f/rescue-boat-for-wildlife?member=25852935&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheet&utm_content=undefined&utm_medium=copy_link_all&utm_source=customer&utm_term=undefined&mibextid=Zxz2cZ

Iv had another massive day in the water in the Murry river flood-lands. Today we patrolled from Swan Reach to Punyelroo. The river is very high and there is no dry pockets of land left between the Murray river and the backwaters. These pockets were areas where animals have previously been stranded. Today was the first day out of weeks in the water rescuing wildlife that I did not get to rescue anything 😢 The kangaroos are gorn, the wombat burrows are under water, and there were no more survivors other than the abundance of bird life. A big thank you to Stu and holly for your assistance today in the water 🙏 it was a hot one 🥵 Thank you to Wombat Awareness Organisation for all your help And a massive thank you to Derek and Animal Rescue Cooperative for your sponsorship to continue to get me into the field where I’m needed. We will continue water search and rescue untill we are no longer needed.
