I took her to the vet at the zoo. They examined her properly.

She had lost all her no.2 finger, and most of her no.3 and no.4 fingers.
That's about 60% of the wing. She'll never fly again.



I left her there. They'll put her on pain-killers tonight and euthanase her
tomorrow. The delay is because they have to take tissue and blood samples
and get them to Geelong to be tested for lyssavirus, and they can't do that
tonight.

I feel like shit.

I'm sorry you've lost your bat but with that much damage, it's for the best. A bat that can't fly, can't feed or do anything else. She'd be at a disadvantage and she'd slowly die of starvation. You're allowing her to die with dignity and in comfort. You did the best you could.
