Sometimes, life just doesn’t go the way we’d hope and, despite our every effort, an animal can’t be saved. Simon was called to a heartbreaking case recently, where a fawn had been severely injured and couldn’t move. Its mother was nearby but could do nothing to help the youngster.
Simon rushed to the scene, but sadly the fawn’s wounds were already beyond repair; it’s leg was badly broken, with an open fracture that would have been impossible to fix, and it had a large, deep wound on its rump that was already infested with maggots. There was nothing anyone could have done to save it, and Simon had to put the fawn’s welfare first and put it to sleep…
In cases like this we would normally use an injection to put the animal down, but this contaminates the body and means we couldn’t have left it where it was. In order to give the mother closure, Simon opted for euthanasia with a gun - a completely painless and quick practice.
The whole ordeal left Simon distressed for a number of days; we mourn every loss just as much as the first.
