Welcome to Woody!

Michele and Steve called us this morning. A baby deer had been bleating and screaming all afternoon, evening and then again today. He had been up and walking around bleating continuously. They knew enough to leave baby deer alone, but this didn't seem natural either.
We advised that this was not a typical situation and they should capture and bring the deer in. They did.

Normally you would leave a baby alone - but in a case where one has been walking, screaming and bleating for an extended period of time - it is often a signal for intervention needed.

This This is Maria taking care of Woody, right after he arrived. (Melrose in the back). Woody's eyes are still blue which means he is UNDER two weeks old. He is very small. Much smaller than the other two. Maria starts him off with just some electrolytes. Normally it takes a couple of days to get a deer used to a bottle and they fumble and lose the nipple - but this guy was so hungry .... it was no problem!
