Butternut Gets Another Chance

December 9, 2017 by Nicola Rae 1 Comment

I have wonderful news!!

Little wombat also known as Wilba or Butternut is getting another chance after his first surgery with a pin placed in his leg didn’t go as well as planned.

Tristan our amazing wildlife vet has arranged for a specialist surgeon Dr Guy Yates to plate his femur with his assistance just before Christmas.

I have been struggling to cope with the idea of that he would have to euthanasized otherwise as we were running out of options.

Money was of course a big issue, but Tristan put a hat out and my friends have all come together to pay for it as gift to little Wilba, the wombat who loves a pumpkin!

I am so filled with gratitude and so happy for this sweet darling.

Massive thank you to Tristan and all my beautiful friends that have given him another chance at life.
