Tank only came in for a few days last week. He was a bit heat stressed and dehydrated so we fixed him up and he was good as gold! Except for when he bit Pat - then he was a naughty boy.  He was an old fella (about 10 years old) and was found and released at Lismore High School in February 2014. 10 Year Old, 10 Years, Heat Stress, Koala Bears, Lismore, Wombat, February, High School, Adorable

Jacob was with us for a few months so we were very happy to take him home to Lindendale. He had mild conjunctivitis and cystitis and it took us a little longer than expected to get the chlamydia out of his system.  He always had a lot to say and loved his breakfast.  He was released late February 2014. Cystitis, Koala Bear, Love Him, Mild, Months, System, Lot, Breakfast

Idris is a gorgeous big boy from Goonellabah - so handsome, he had conjunctivitis in just his right eye. He was an enthusiastic eater (look out Swamp Mahogany) and was very brave when it came time for his treatments. He was released in January 2014.

This gorgeous girl has visited us a few times. Firstly, in 2011 she was found very close to a major arterial road. She had a full check up, got an ear tag and was released away from the road in what we thought was a nice safe spot.  Come December 2013, she came into care again with cystitis, 7km from where we dropped her off. Apparently, the spot we chose wasn't up to her standards! She was taken up to AZWH where she stayed until she was ready for release. Good luck girl! Good Luck Girl, Ear Tag, December 2013, Cute Funny Animals, Gorgeous Girls, Animals Beautiful, Release

This is Desley and she (with her joey Dixie) came into care early in the New Year (2014), struggling with heat stress. They have both been to the vet and while Dixie is very healthy, her Mum is anemic and thin.  They will stay for a little while to allow her time to recover and gain some weight before we release them together. New Year 2014, Dixie, Recover, Animal Kingdom, Gain, Mum

Alexander was a beautiful big boy rescued from Eureka with bad conjunctivitis.  Even after nearly a months treatment with anti-biotics, his eye sight was still impaired due to cataracts.  He was, however, able to see enough for him to be successfully released in June 2013. Impaired, Eureka, Spirit Animal, His Eyes

Cuzac is a chilled out boy from Condong with mild conjunctivitis in his right eye. He's totally gorgeous and we all love him to pieces.  His visit was a little longer than we had hoped when he developed complications and had to be sent to AZWH for treatment.  He was released early 2014 in perfect health. Love Is All, Totally, Early

Jason is from Federal and was in care for a few weeks. You can see his left eye has a cataract but his right eye is perfect! He was very grumpy and difficult to treat but we loved him anyway. Grumpy, Jason, Difficult, Left

King was found sitting on a flight of outdoor steps in Federal, completely blind from conjunctivitis.  Once he had been treated with anti-biotics, his sight wasn't perfect but certainly good enough to survive with.  He was released in October 2013.

Damian was a sweet little 3 year old male that came into care after being found sitting on the side of the road. After being assessed by the vet, he was found to only have a cut under his chin and some bruising. We assume he was clipped by a car. He got lots of love and attention (and his favourite leaf, Forest Red Gum) and was soon released in his home of Coraki. 3 Years Old, Chin, Gum, Wildlife, Forest, Attention, Male, Road

Bart came into care in April 2013 with both Conjunctivitis & Cystitis.  After his treatment with us was complete, Bart spent some time at AZWH to make sure he had a clean bill of health.  Bart was released yesterday and didn't hesitate once the cage was opened.  We wish him a long and healthy life. Bart, Healthy Life, Yesterday, April, Treatment, Long
