Wombat Care

AT KAMALASHILA TIBETAN BUDDHIST CENTRE

Kamalashila is a true refuge for humans and wildlife alike. We have a number of wombats that live at the centre and who have had significant health issues with mange, a condition that affects a lot of wombats and is an extremely uncomfortable condition. With the help of our local wise and compassionate wombat expert Danie and a team of volunteers at the centre, we have successfully treated Tashi who came out to tell us he was feeling better! We are hoping our other resident, Tsering is equally recovered. You can see the after and before pics are such a contrast. May all beings overcome their physical, mental, and karmic afflictions.

Images below show our wombats before and during treatment, as well as Tashi after treatment, growing back a good coat of hair and looking happy. Tashi now shows off his thick coat that has grown back.

Great thanks to Peter Tooth, among other things, wombat treater extraordinaire. Thanks for creeping around in the dark, Pete and seeing so many wombats some of whom are badly mange.
