Agreed mate, no need to back down on anything you believe in! We like to share our ideas, and new ones are always welcomed. We just leave the wank factor back at APS
By German text, do you by any chance mean the book that is referred to here on this site as the 'Bluey Bible'? (see sticky at top of forum). Tis a great read!
Here in NSW our wildlife rescue team is called WIRES. I give to them financially because I am not strong enough mentally to handle looking after the poor little creatures myself. I'd love to, but I'd find it too sad. I admire people who can.
P.S. If you post pics of your shingles I can guarantee you'll be the toast of the forum
haha
I know how tough they are but this little dude needed a needle quick smart. Their toughness is also a downside because they hang in there no matter how damaged they are. If it were during hours I would have taken it to the vet but I couldn't raise them on their after hours number. If you want to see some great rehab work, search for a few threads by Deadeye. Don't try understanding what he writes, just look at the pics. He's got some weird disease striking down WA shingles to deal with on top of the usual cars, cats and dogs but is doing some great work over there in the west.
That reminds me of where I read somewhere that someone called their horses Clag 1 and Clag 2 
. It's a real shame, the state of some of his shingles will make you cry.
