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.

Aww, damn. Well, it probably doesn't help much, but at least this way she'll pass comfortably, with relative ease instead of the unpleasant alternatives in the wild. My sympathy to you--I'm sure you know all the reasons it's a neccessary thing, and I'm sure it still sucks anyhow.
