Giving a helping hand

This fully grown male agile wallaby found himself trapped in a pool in the rural area. A member of Wildcare NT rescued him and brought him to us. He had bruising around the eyes and nose and was dehydrated but otherwise in very good condition.

Because wallabies are easily stressed, we sedated him and he received hydration fluids, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics and was then driven back into his territory. Best luck old man!
