Great stuff! Escape is a good sign of recovery. : )
Her name was Precious and gained heaps of weight and "escaped" form the turtle hospital - it was a happy ending.
What ended up happening to this turtle Mark? Did she recover? You might like to add her (and your Wombat spotting) to the global Wildlife Rescue & Rehab mission at http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/9974....
She has been named Precious and is still touch and go - but feeding and swimming and in good hands at https://www.facebook.com/quointurtles
so sad... :(
