SHANGRALA'S
MIRACLE
FAWN!
Pictures Of The Cute Little Fellow. Enjoy! :)
Welcome! Come on in! Meet little Rupert. He is a miracle fawn. Tiny Rupert was
born three weeks early after his mom was hit by a car. Unfortunately, vets were
unable to save her, but they did perform a Caesarean section to save him.
He was just six inches tall and weighed only 500 grams when he was born. Rupert
the muntjac fawn was nursed at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in England. Rupert's
becoming quite a handful. Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said: 'We brought
him out and got him breathing and then he went into an incubator on oxygen.'
UPDATE:
*~* Special Thanks Goes to Becky Stockum for this update.
Sadness falls upon St. Tiggywinkles, as the wee creature that captured hearts
of people throughout the world this week has died.
Dicing with death since his birth, little Rupert had all the symptoms of a
premature human baby - his lungs weren't inflating properly and problems
materialized when he was unable to ingest the lamb's milk staff had been
feeding him because he needed his mother's bacteria.
Staff at the wildlife center felt his survival was unpredictable since the
fawn was only their second baby deer which they've had to deliver by cesarean,
so everything was under trial and error.
Les Stocker told The Bucks Herald that everyone was worried about him because
they hadn't seen anything so tiny.
'The nurses are absolutely choked as well as the foster mother who took him on.
It is all a new science looking after wildlife casualties and this is just one
more to add to our experience.'
He said next time they'll try warm milk straight from a goat at a nearby farm.
