Rusty Stares Down Death Aug 2005

Site updated on 21 Aug 2005

We shouldn't trivialise the week after the 11th August. Rusty stupidly ran behind the car as we backed out of the drive. It was 50/50 for a few days. The vertebrae in his tail had pulled apart just around where the nerves branch off to the bladder. If they were damaged it was the end of the show for Rusty, but he showed mastery of his organs and a week on and one tail snip later, he was home.

Rusty Pre- August 11.

A fine tail whisps the air


What tail?

On the 19th August, the Vet had to remove his tail. Now he has a Wombat Butt


Terry drops in for a visit 19th


The girls are just happy to have him home after a week in hospital



The patrol continues, tail or not.

Want to see Rusty in action on patrol the day

before the accident? 5 minitues of insight into

a great intellect. Olivias' first movie.
