my Grandpa just e-mailed me this, i wanted to share!
This tiny deer was delivered by Caesarean section at a wildlife hospital
after his mother was killed by a car. Little Rupert, who is so small he
can fit in an adult'shand, was born after vets failed in their battle to
save his mother. At just six inches tall and weighing just over a pound,
he is now in an incubator in the intensive care unit at Tiggywinkles
Wildlife Hospital in Buckinghamshire. He has only recently opened his
eyes. Les Stocker, founder of Tiggywinkles, said: Rupert's mother had very
severe injuries. We brought him out and got him breathing and then he went
into an incubator on oxygen. He is now being fed by a tube. Tucked in,
Rupert is in an incubator Dear deer: Rupert pulls a striking pose for the
camera Staff are optimistic Rupert, now five days old, will make a full
recovery. Deer are very, very tricky but this one has spirit. He's
extremely feisty little guy and quite pushy, Mr Stocker said. Asleep:
Rupert takes 40 winks.
