Deer Comes Running When Her Caretaker Calls Her Name

Of all the deer that I have cared for over the last 5 years, these two are my favorites! Zoey and MiLady! Unfortunately, they both have had a hard life. Zoey was separated from her mother during a flood, when she was just a tiny fawn. Her leg was injured as she tried to find safety. MiLady has always been a loner. The other deer seemed to shun her from the very beginning. So sad! And then, last Spring, her fawn got hit by a car, and died when it was barely one month old. Shortly after that, MiLady became very sick. I believe she had an infection in her mouth due to a horsefly bite. Her face is still quite swollen, and she still has a hard time eating, but she is hanging in there.
