Lilou is a young deer who arrived at our centre after a terrifying ordeal. She had been attacked by dogs and was brought to us by the local firefighters. When she arrived she was weak, frightened and in urgent need of help.
Our veterinary team worked gently and patiently to stabilise her. She received fluids to keep her strong, medication to fight infection and treatment for her wounds. The most serious was a deep injury inside her mouth that needed careful stitching. Deer are very vulnerable to stress, so we are doing everything possible to keep her calm, quiet and comfortable as she recovers.
Right now Lilou is in intensive care, watched over closely by our team every single day. We don’t yet know if she will be strong enough to return to the wild, but we are giving her every chance.
By becoming a Friend of IAR, you can be part of her story and the stories of so many other animals in need. Your monthly gift will help provide urgent care, food, medicine and the safe refuge they deserve.
