Koala Name: Medowie Matt
Rescued: May 2021
Released: October 2021
Reason Matt came into care: Matt initially came into care at Port Stephens Koala Hospital after being displaced by housing development in Medowie. Upon receiving a health check (given to all animals upon arrival), Matt was found to have urogenital chlamydia and treatment was commenced.
Treatment provided: Matt received daily antibiotics to treat the urogenital chlamydia as well as ongoing health assessments to make sure he was recovering well. Once he was given the all-clear, and the condition cleared, Matt was released near his original location, away from the housing development.
Estimated cost of treatment while in care:
We rely on adoptions and donations to help save koalas and other native wildlife. As we are a not-for-profit organisation, your generosity will help to cover the inevitable costs.
We have Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) status which makes it easier for us to fundraise to support the ongoing work of Port Stephens Koala Hospital.
