Wounded wildlife, horses and pets are beginning to trickle through shelters and hospitals across the state.
As residents fought for their lives and homes animals were left to their own devices.
Seventy alpacas used a property’s dam to protect themselves from the fires.
Shelters around the state have become a haven for the wounded.
It is thought that the worst affected animal victims are still cut off from the public and rescuers fear the worst.
“It is important that any animals that are in the fire region are reported,” says Colleeen Wood from the Wildlife Rescue and Protection.
Truckloads of hay are being delivered to affected areas and vet hospital’s like the one at the University of Melbourne are offering free care to animals.
