Something Amazing...                                 Wildlife Rescue...

   Earlier in the year we collected a deer who had
   broken her leg after she had fallen in a road
   drain. Our vet advised that, although the leg
   could not be saved, the muntjac doe could
   manage well with three legs and operated to
   remove the damaged limb. She recovered well
   and was soon mobile again.

   She has become extremely tame and is a delight
   to have around and often comes up for a scratch
   under her chin.

   After all the trauma she has been through, she
   surprised us by giving birth to a healthy fawn.
   Having been rescued in April, she was obviously at
   the beginning of a seven month gestation period.

 Oh Deer...
 What can the matter be?

 We were called out to another young
 deer who had been injured and, in panic,
 run into Norwich’s biggest shopping
 centre,The Castle Mall. We collected her
 from the ladies’ toilets, where staff had

                                 ushered her for
                                 safety.
                                 Back at the
                                 Sanctuary, she
                                 soon recovered
                                 after receiving
                                 veterinary
                                 treatment .
