RSPCA finds ‘massive tumour’ in pregnant wallaby rescued from West End car park

Rescue efforts to save a runaway wallaby, found wandering around the Brisbane suburb of West End, have ended in tragedy after vets found a large tumour near the pregnant marsupial’s heart.

West End resident Louise Cuskelly was out on her morning walk when she spotted the wallaby who was looking worse for wear on Monday morning.

“We were just walking along the riverfront down near Jane Street Markets and this [wallaby] came through the mangroves of the river,” Ms Cuskelly said.
