As it was last seen, the swollen river threatened not only to men. High water levels are also dangerous to wild animals. A few days ago the San River near Przemysl rapidity swept forest deer. The Roe deer drifted through the center of Przemysl. Vulnerable and helpless animal unsuccessfully tried to save itself, trying to get back to shore. To no avail. Element appeared to be stronger. Seconds divided her from drowning. Desperate struggle for life threw in the eyes of passers-by. Without hesitation, they took care of a needy animal. They notified the Patrol of the Municipal Police, who with the help of passers-by managed to draw the Roe deer to the shore. She was so weak that she did not even have the strength to instinctive defense and escape. Transport was arranged immediately and the deer was taken to our Centre. To our surprise, it turned out that the Roe deer is in advanced stages of pregnancy. In order to save the baby ruminant an immediate caesarean surgery which lasted an hour and a half was necessary. Although the chances of survival were slim we did our best to save the adult deer to the end. Unfortunately, because of extreme exhaustion of increased stress of this whole situation and injuries the mother could not be saved. The young survived. They are safe and sound. Two young came into the world; male and female. Fawns clinging to drink milk from a bottle, treating us like their own mother. Our priority is now feeding and adapting them for independent living in the wild. We will inform you about their further fate.
