‘How good is the Coat Quench? This is an overcast day. So shiny!!!!’ – Jess B.
Mr Wendal the (female) Wild Wombat
I can count on one penis how many good news stories I’ve had with wildlife lately… Much less in the ‘forgotten drought’ where nearly no-one even knows the current crisis our animals are in 
But while I’ve been really loving my social hiatus, tonight’s sighting was just too joyful not to share…
By way of a backstory – the last few weeks, things have been truly shitful here.
There’s no rain and no grass.
Winter looks bleak as fuck.
I’ve got enough control over my own animals to organise euthanasia when required.. but watching the wildlife suffer has been taking a toll.
Just incase you’ve missed the mis-gendered story of Mr Wendal, my friendly wild wombat – here tis.
I saw a catastrophically mangey wombat in early January,
The first rescue suggested euthanasia but thankfully the second rescue persisted with a dose of Bravecto* (all credit to the lovely Jayde from Mange Management – Treating Mange in Wombats)
Over the following weeks, I trained my new friend with positive reinforcement (associating snacks with the song Mr Wendal) to give supportive treatment with purple spray & farm balms.
After daily treatments – many months later – I ‘upskirt’ photo bombed my friend… and despite my confusion in identifying pouches vs buttholes.. it turned out Mr Wendal was Ms Wendal.
Seemingly nearly recovered, one day Lady Wendal presented in the daytime with a brand new shiny case of mange (before she’d even recovered from the last)
But luckily due to our mutual appreciation of 90s rap..I was able to give her weekly treatments of a new treatment.
Anyhoo… Over the last fortnight, I’ve only seen my Woman-bat friend from a distance so tonight, when she arrived on the driveway and walked right over to me I COULD NOT BELIEVE MY EYES!!!!
She’s pretty much ’normal’.. she looks fabulous and I might say, and unlike her droughty sorority sisters – has a lovely lustre to her coat (must be all that rosemary spray 
)
)I’ve included a few photos because I know that there are many of you that do give fucks about wildlife and we rarely get to see a good outcome 
Thanks for reading – I hope seeing her improvement has given you joy.

Yes I use this on my hair because I don’t have a horse 🤔 but if I was a horse I’d love it too 🤣

Me too!!!! It seems to keep the wild witch ‘do’ looking glossier than usual… Nothing to do with the fact I’ve finally retired the hair dye of course 😜

I’m using this daily on my dogs’ sensitive feet and it’s definitely reducing itching and helping to keep them soothed.
I’m also rubbing it onto my nursing bitch’s boobs after puppy feeds and she definitely appreciates the soothing relief.
