I discovered a very young fawn lying in a flower bed on the north side of my home which appears to be near death. I have been unable to reach animal control. What do you suggest?

We have a deer in Bloomington IN who has damaged her right rear leg. It looks like she got into a car accident and has a road rash on her left hip. Her right rear leg dangles and we don't know if she has a broken hip too. She struggles to walk and is very thin and emaciated despite summer being her best time of year for food. She has three fawns that follow her or sometimes wander around without her. Is there anything that can be done with the mother and her fawns? We are concerned that she will die this winter as it seems very difficult for her to find food and get around. It is also very disturbing to see her walk around as she is obviously very hurt. Thanks.

It is disturbing to be in our neighborhood right now because we have a female deer that I have written about before who has a dangling rear right leg and a broken hip. She had 3 fawns this summer, but yesterday we only saw 1 fawn with her. She is in heat right now, and there is a male buck chasing her incessantly. We saw them 3 times in our neighborhood yesterday late afternoon. If the buck mounts her, she will probably end up severely damaged because she cannot take his weight with her broken hip/leg. And if she happens to survive...I doubt she will survive birthing a fawn or two next spring. I don't enjoy seeing animals suffer this much living in a city where deer aren't really supposed to be living. This would be a different issue had it been in the country. Bloomington has a deer problem and I wonder if it will take a killing of a child before anything gets done. Numerous of my friends have had their dogs attacked by deer, children attacked by deer and a deer went rampant inside a resident's home. Please advise....

I couldn't reach anyone with Animal Control. There is an owl that appears sick or injured on Forrest Ave. close to 14st. He is by the fire hydrant between two large trees on Forrest. He is not moving when approached. Thanks Jill.

Hi Virgil, I wanted to follow up with an email you forwarded to yourself today. The issue wasn't just a slight sprained ankle. Robin BROKE her ankle which required 2 weeks of a cast and 2-3 months of an air cast. We had to cancel a prepaid trip to CA because of this incident with a deer that would not have been the case if there were no aggressive deer in Bloomington. I know this might seem like a slight case to you, but it is huge for us. Once again, we have health insurance, but if we didn't...it would have been a huge Emergency Room expense, Orthopedic doctor expense x 3 and physical therapy. Missed time from work, etc. This isn't just a slight matter and I am sure if it had happened to someone else in the city it might have been looked at a little more seriously. The owners before us had been fighting the deer for years before they sold the house to us and now we are fighting the deer issue. Once again, will it take a death of a child (which I am sure will happen) before the city will do something about the urban deer problem? We have spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars trying to have a decent garden and fighting these deer and every year their population keeps growing and doing more havoc to the city of Bloomington's resident's gardens as well as the danger they cause and nothing gets done about it.
