🦘 A little reminder about our local wildlife.
We’ve been seeing an increase in wildlife being brought into the clinic recently, and we’d like to take a moment to thank the Wangaratta community for continuing to look out for our native wildlife.
Thank you to everyone who stops to help an injured animal, safely gets them to a place where they can receive care, and advocates for their wellbeing. Your compassion can make an enormous difference.
Sadly, not every animal we see can be saved or successfully rehabilitated. In some cases, despite our best efforts, their injuries are simply too severe. When this happens, humane euthanasia may be the kindest option available - preventing an animal from experiencing a prolonged and painful death.
While these outcomes can be incredibly difficult, please know that bringing an injured animal in for assessment is always the right thing to do. Giving them the opportunity to receive veterinary care means we can determine the most compassionate outcome for them.
Please continue to advocate for our wildlife, slow down for them on our roads, and help when you can. 💚
Thank you, Wangaratta, for caring for the animals that share our community with us. 🌿🦘
