As you all know #1300KOALAZ #Claude has been vacationing at Adelaide Koala & Wildlife Centre following being hit by a car late last week. Unfortunately yesterday when vets were monitoring him they noticed some bloat in Claude’s stomach and stiffness in his elbow that warranted further investigation.
X-rays of Claude’s abdomen and elbow revealed severe bloat and an old injury to his elbow that was causing it to not sit in its joint properly. These gut and physical injuries may explain why Claude has not been able to thrive in the wild and why he’s been rescued so many times lately. Unfortunately, the heartbreaking decision was made to give Claude peace 🌈💔
Whilst we are all heartbroken, 1300KOALAZ would still like to thank everyone involved in Claude’s care, rescue and the brilliant vet team for their amazing work.
If you see a sick, injured or orphaned koala call 1300KOALAZ on 1300 562 529 and we’ll send a rescuer 24/7 💚🐨

Here in South Australia a DEW permit is required to be able to rescue and/or care for a koala.
It is also illegal to keep a koala as a pet.
So you can imagine our concern when we were sent to a rescue where two individuals were attempting to retrieve a koala to keep as a pet.
Fortunately for the koala, which was tagged, our rescuer managed to retrieve Mark the koala as he was climbing down and get him into her car and drive away before anything could happen to him.
The police had been called and hopefully arrived after our rescuer left to have words with the two individuals.
Mark was dropped off not too far away but out of harms way.
Please, if you need to call someone to rescue a koala make sure the individual has a rescue or carers permit. All of our rescuers and carers have the correct permits to allow them to rescue and/or care for a koala legally.
If you find a sick, injured, orphaned or distressed koala please call 1300KOALAZ for help or advice.

Claude our #1300KOALAZ boomerang koala is back again.
He just can’t help himself, but gets into trouble at the drop of a hat. This time he was hit by a motor vehicle which left him with cuts, bruises and an open wound under his arm.
To stop this open wound getting infected he is vacationing at the Koala Hospital for the weekend so it can be treated before he will once more come into care.
Please, please slow down when driving between dusk and dawn when koalas are most active.
If you find a sick, injured, orphaned or distressed koala please call 1300koalaz for help or advice.
