Gladys is an old adult female Grey-Headed Flying-Fox with worn down teeth; we call these senior citizens "gummy bears" and have great affection for them.
She was found on the road and the MOP helped her into a large bucket and covered her until I arrived; I was glad that she wasn't still on the road, crawling around and potentially getting squished by passing cars.
Initially I thought she had very little chance of survival, but to my surprise she actually improved after I got her home.
She has bloody toes with a possibly fracture in one toe, and she has a swollen wrist (but I can't feel any fractures in the joint). She needs xrays as soon as I can arrange them, however I am feeling cautiously hopeful.
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).

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.
