Doxie part 4, an injured flying-fox in care on day 3.

Doxie is a subadult male Grey-Headed Flying-Fox who is on the cusp of adulthood. I didn't think he had a lot going right for him; he is very quiet, has weepy eyes, rattly breathing and appears very vague and lacking purposeful movements, but in care he's actually improving slowly, so I'm cautiously hopeful. He has started to move around a bit, and to wonkily hang for a while, and of course, he's peed, which is always a good sign. I don't know how he's going to go, but he's still on a positive trend, so I'll keep up the supportive care. I'm going to move him to a carer in the next 24 hours; he'll benefit from having other batty company for his convalescence. His name comes from that of a small hairy humanoid fairy which seemed the appropriate name for this handsome hairy little fellow. KOKO Doxie; you're heading in the right direction. 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]
