Body worms in a carpet python
We often find small lumps on snakes, lizards and frogs. They are the intermediate stage of a tapeworm (Spirometra sp.) if they are eaten by a cat or dog they can get up to three meters long.
All of these Little Red Flying foxes have been treated in our clinic and after being in care are now ready to be released back into the wild. Best feeling ever #wildliferescuedarwin #Bats #australianwildlife #wildlifevet #flyingfoxes
Today is international Frog day - here are some of the frogs who have needed help from us.
This Kingfisher was so keen to get out, he nearly hit our staff member. But we are very happy as Kingfisher are tricky patients and don't do especially well in rehab. This birdie came in when he was hit by a car #wildliferescuedarwin#wildlifevet#australianwildlife #kingfisherbird
Waiting for food. This owl was Hit by a car and is now on painkillers for recovery. X-ray showed no broken bones. Lucky! 🍀
This little girl was hit by a car. Luckily nothing was broken but because she was very small she stayed in care for a while. Eating like a champ and growing. Soon big enough for her release #wildliferescuedarwin #echidna #australianwildlife
After being trapped in a shed, this water python had a quick health check, before it was released into near by bushland. #wildliferescuedarwin #wildlifevet
We had three echidnas in in the last month. Here is Dr. Cutter at a release of one of them. Most echidnas come in either because they were hit by a car or attacked by a dog #wildliferescuedarwin #wildlifevet #echidna
When you think your sister still has food... If you find a baby bird in most cases you should build an artificial nest and try to reunite them with their parents. This two will now be raise by a wildlife carer. #wildliferescuedarwin
With water levels dropping we will see more turtles on the move. Please drive carefully especially in the evening. This yellow face just needed a quick check and release #wildlifevet #wildliferescuedarwin
