Man Saves Abandoned Baby Deer
Well, I kept a close eye on her most of the time through the night and
just kind of watching with my binoculars and it was early morning that I brought her inside.
My old cats and dogs, they're all super friendly and they just kind of were curious first
what is this little creature and they were kind of observing first day but it took them one day
and it was fine, it was no problem. For the leg I made a brace and from an oatmeal box,
from a Quaker's oatmeal box it gave her kind of, I guess, pretty good support on the weak joint
she had. After the first five days she started getting better. I noticed that her leg is getting
better and I took a brace off and she was walking, walking fine. So that's when I started looking
for her mother. This evening I'm going to see if I can find some deer, doe deer that
would be looking for her fawn. She's following me and the other deer is kind of like looking
what the heck is going on.
It didn't work because we never found the mom, we never found her mom. I was out of town for a
couple days and my friends were watching the baby and the mother showed up first night,
they released her and the mom started nursing her. It was really very helpful that I was out
of town because the baby was missing me and dogs were locked so it was like a perfect
situation for her to accept the mom and to be accepted by her real mom.
We did see them all through summer. I'm sure she has a better life right now with her real
family and being in the wild where she belongs. I hope she's being safe and having a great life.
