Alexa the fawn arrived on her second day of life after a donkey stomped on her, resulting in a complete fracture
of her left front leg. The injury was complicated by contracted tendons, which prevented proper
alignment of the broken bones. With limited funds for orthopedic surgery, our team focused on daily wound care, infection prevention, and splinting her leg for five weeks. Alexa patiently endured weekly bandage changes, proving to be a resilient little fighter.
On Day 37, we removed her splint and held our breath as she placed her hoof on the ground, defying her poor prognosis and veterinary expectations.
