Ruby, a young red-necked wallaby, recently came into the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital after a heartbreaking start to life. π
Sadly, Rubyβs mum was hit by a car. Ruby remained in her motherβs pouch for some time before she was discovered and brought into care. By the time she arrived at the hospital, she had sustained abdominal injuries and required urgent treatment. π₯Ή
Like many orphaned joeys, Ruby faced a few challenges on her road to recovery. It took some time for her to adjust to formula feeding, but with plenty of dedicated care from our wonderful team, she has slowly gained strength and confidence. π₯³π
Today, Ruby is making steady progress and continues to receive the specialised care she needs. ππ
