Quantas T Koala

doctorbeth:

Isn’t that just a perfect name for a koala?  Quantas’ person first wrote back in 2016 about some possible surgery for Quantas, but she wasn’t ready to part with him at that point.  Then in May, she wrote to say she was ready to send him in.  Quantas is a 38 year old pot belly koala and while his name makes him sound cuddly, his box came marked “Warning: Angry koala inside”!  He didn’t like being locked up!

Here are the diagnosis photos Quantas’ person sent:

As you can see, he has some tears, his ears have lost the lining, and he has some runs.  He also was hoping for a spa and some fluffing.

Here he is starting his spa (I think he looks a bit more frightened… I don’t think he’s swum before):

Next we had to choose the fur for his new inner ears.  I sent two options:

His person chose the top one.  So the surgery commenced and once he was better, I send some chubbiness approval pics:

A bit plumper please was the response.  Here he is all better:

The finger shows he’s relatively dense, which is what his person wanted. 

Quantas T. Koala flew home to Colorado and his person wrote:

Q and I have been happily reunited. He’s a BIT grumpy about having to stay in the mailbox last night but I’m giving him extra cuddles! Thank you so much, he looks AMAZING!
