Juvenile flying-fox goes for an xray: this is Dionysus

Dionysus is a young juvenile male Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who was noticed hanging alone in a bare street tree in the inner city. He isn't using his legs right, so he needs to go for an xray to see if he has a spinal or pelvic injury, but in the meantime he's doing well (apart from his legs). In the video I keep watching him move to see if I can get clues as to what is going on with him; he's only up to day 2 in care at the moment so he's got time to improve. I managed to get an xray appointment; the good news is that he doesn't have any fractures that we can see. Sorry I didn't get great footage of it all, since the video glasses managed to stop at various crucial stages, but we've agreed to give him a bit of time. Because I've got minor surgery on this week I've dropped him off to a carer so no more footage until I get out. YAY, no fractures. PS: he wasn't very cooperative about having his xray done with no chemical restraint, so we had to anaesthetise him. (octopus characteristics come to mind). Tolga Bat Hospital takes donations for our batties. Tolga is an awesome place in Far North Queensland, which has charity status. By sending donations to them, they get a percentage (and deserve every cent) and they can allocate money to me for batty expenses without it becoming part of my income stream (which makes tax time difficult). https://tolgabathospital.org/donate/ Mention Megabattie or Meg in the PayPal message box and the money will find its way to me. If no message box appears, please email Jenny to tell her that the money is for me. IMPORTANT: If you pay through the PayPal Giving Fund, can you please email Jenny with the AMOUNT DONATED and the name under which you have donated, OR just forward along the PP receipt. The Giving Fund doesn’t charge any fees (so the bats get more money) but PP doesn’t itemise out the amount, they just send a total every month, and we don’t know if the money is for Tolga or for Megabattie. Here’s Jenny’s email. [email protected]
