Patient of the Week: Nat the Green Sea Turtle
Age: Adult
Sex: Female
Found: Beached onshore at Moreton Island by Queensland Parks & Wildlife Rangers.
Transported: From Moreton Island to the QPWS Manly office on the mainland via ferry, then to the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital by the Australia Zoo Rescue Unit.
Veterinary Assessment: Nat had fishing line wrapped tightly around her front left flipper, with the other end of the line going down her throat reaching all the way to her small intestines. Dr Claude took x-rays to check whether there was a hook attached to the line, but fortunately there wasn't.
Treatment: Dr Claude and Dr Peter worked together to perform the delicate surgery to remove the fishing line. The remainder of the line was easily untangled from Nat's flipper but left a nasty wound. Nat was placed on pain relief, antibiotics and various other meds and kept dry-docked for 24 hours after the surgery.
Future: Nat is currently recovering in an ICU pool where she has been eating, passing faeces and swimming - all promising signs for a full recovery in the coming weeks.
AZWH Statistic: In the past 12 months alone, 97 wildlife patients have been admitted due to fishing line entanglements.
YOUR HELP IS NEEDED:

As a charity, Australia Zoo Wildlife Warriors relies on donations to run their key projects, including the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital. They are appealing to the community to help raise funds through the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital Flood Appeal which will assist in treating wildlife victims.

Wildlife Warriors' Australian Wildlife Hospital - Patient of the Week: Flax, the Wonga Pigeon Meet FLAX !
Cute little Flax, the Wonga Pigeon, was found in Flaxton, on the Sunshine Coast, by a kindly man named Steve who took him to the Wildlife Hospital. Good job Steve!
The nest that Flax was in had fallen out of a tree, leaving this nestling bub in a precarious position.
A veterinary assessment found Flax to have wobbly balance and a tick on one foot, which was removed. Other than that Flax was uninjured.
Flax was crop fed and given sub-cutaneous fluids, then sent to rest in a warm incubator overnight.
Little Flax has now been sent to a specialised bird rehabilitator to learn how to be a wild wonga pigeon before being released back at Flaxton.
Did you know? - Wonga pigeons are endemic to the east coast of Australia, ranging from Queensland to Victoria.
