"Today we made the decision to put Ellenborough Lewis to sleep," the hospital said on Facebook.
"We placed him under general anaesthesia this morning to assess his burns injuries and change the bandages.
"We recently posted that 'Burns injuries can get worse before they get better'.
"In Ellenborough Lewis' case, the burns did get worse, and unfortunately would not have gotten better."
The koala had suffered burns to his hands, feet, arms and the inside of his legs.
The animal hospital a few days ago stated it didn't keep koalas alive if that meant them suffering too much pain and discomfort.
