 Cool Cases

This one-month-old fawn was hit by a car. Unfortunately, one of its legs was broken during the accident. It was taken to the veterinary hospital, where the doctors in the exotic animal department did surgery to repair the leg.

After surgery, it was kept in a padded hospital cage for a few days until it learned how to walk on its injured leg again.

After several days, the bandage was removed. A few weeks later it was released back into the wild!

Most injured or ill wild animals are treated and returned to the wild.

However, this bald eagle had a wing that was so badly injured that it had to be removed.

He now lives at the Athens Zoo.
