Baby flying-fox in care day 2: this is Saltash

Saltash is an 11 day old Grey-Headed Flying-Fox pup who was noticed by a lovely MOP, when he was moving around on his mum in the gutter under powerlines.
I won't say that Saltash is doing well, because he was quite squidgy at rescue, with slitted and squinty little miserable eyes; he's cold but not freezingly cold, and just not at all well. If you look at him you can see how unwell he looks.
I suspect he has internal burns which will become obvious in his condition over the next 24 hours but at the moment he's hanging in there and trying to drink and doin the normal batty things, but he's struggling.
I still don't hold out a lot of hope for him but I would be delighted to be surprised.

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.
