Yolandie, what is the blue dye from?

Hi Don

The medicine we use is colourless so I add blue food colouring. This serves as message to others that the wombat is being treated otherwise a ranger might want to euthanise her or another wildlife person might want to also treat her and overdose. Its a messaging system :)
