So mange does occur in wombats but what we see described as mange in possums is in fact bacterial. Usually you have a discharge from the ears. We have seen foreign bodies down the ears of two kangaroos. So they can get conventional ear problems too. After draining it several times, it was surgically opened and sutured flat.
EYES Eyes are interesting.
In kangaroos there has been a lot of literature written about cataracts, their causes etc. The dull, milky patch on the lens is a cataract. This is what we call a congenital cataract because it was there in this young right from the start. So it hasn't developed it. It was reared by its mother.
