Super cute snuzz alert!! Check out these pics from the Daily Mail–a fawn delivered by C-section after his mother was hit by a car.





From the Daily Mail article:

The little orphan, delivered by Caesarean section, was just six inches tall and, at 500 grams, weighed little more than a bag of sugar.

It looked like he, too, would face a tough fight for survival.

But staff at Tiggywinkles Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire believe Rupert, as he has been named, will make a full recovery after his dramatic arrival.

At five days old, he is being kept in an incubator and has just opened his eyes.

    The article was confusing at the beginning: “Vets battled to save her life but she died soon afterwards.” Finally I realized they were talking about the mom. :(

    But how cute is that deer?

    That’s a neat story. I’m glad that they rescued the little dear/deer.

    How about an update? I would like to know how Rupert is doing and where he is now. And of course, let’s see some new photographs of the wee dear-deer.
