Well this beautiful boy is still
  with us ... he is being tolerant with us but as you can imagine cant work out
  what is going on ... why he has that thing holding his ear down .... why he
cant  eat...... and where on earth is he ...... Rebecca has a few scratch marks
when  he throws his arms around but it is not in aggression ... more confusion
  ...
He does smell awful ..... We
took  him for a mobility test this evening  he has another wound on his Left inside leg
  that is leaking pus .... He is unable to put much weight on this leg.... god
  knows what is going on there ..... muscle tendon ...It is really, really sore
to  touch, so pink stuff will have to do till Monday.... If he is strong enough
I  think Don NOAHS ARK VET will have to at least sedate him so we can give him a good going
  over....

It is with a heavy heart I write
  this .... for those that do not know Monty was euthanatized this afternoon ...
  Don was to debride his wounds. We did get his temp down and flush what wounds we could find but as
it  turns out it was not enough ..... Don had to lift his scalp to debride the
head  wounds and found that there was DEAD tissue all down the left side of
his  head/ face and neck ... there were puncture marks all over his chin area
... Don  said that they has been munching on it ... When I said but he was a
9.3kg koala  Don said they would have got him down first and by the time they
did this he  would have just given up .... POOR BOY ... he would have to remove all the muscle
  along the side of his face ... he would not be able to eat, he would
  consistently dribble... he would slowly die in front of us ....
OMG... he was a gentle ,
tolerant  boy... put up with us prodding and poking him .... He didn't deserve
this .....  Don didn't even bother to look at his leg as it really made no
difference to the  outcome... He had a puncture would we could see on his thigh
but we couldn't  find the one on his inner thigh... it was much too sore for us
to touch ... we  thought Don would find it today ..... I am sure it would be the
same as his  head....
I can only hope that you RIP
with  no more pain ... thank god we didn't hold back on the pain relief
