Patient History:

Alberta is home to both the Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus) and the White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus), two iconic native species often seen along grasslands, foothills, forests, and increasingly in urban green spaces. While they share many similarities, they are distinct species. Mule deer are generally larger, with large ears and forked antlers, while white-tailed deer are recognized by the bright white underside of their raised tail and antlers with a central beam and points.

Each spring, does give birth to vulnerable fawns, often hidden carefully in tall grass, shrubs, or wooded cover while their mothers forage nearby. A fawn found alone is not always orphaned; mothers often leave their young concealed for hours at a time. But when fawns are truly orphaned, injured, or displaced, they may arrive at AIWC needing specialized care.

Spring and summer bring some of our most intensive fawn care of the year. Young deer require frequent formula feedings, round-the-clock monitoring, specialized nutrition, and eventually access to fresh browse, the natural leaves, twigs, and vegetation that help prepare them for life in the wild. Collecting browse, maintaining habitat spaces, and caring for growing fawns requires significant daily staff time and resources.

At AIWC, mule deer and white-tailed deer fawns may be raised together in shared nursery spaces, allowing them to grow alongside others of their kind while minimizing human imprinting and supporting natural social development. As they mature, they transition toward more independent behaviors before release.

In 2024, AIWC cared for 16 deer fawns, and 20 in 2025. The need for our resources is steadily increasing, and deer fawns continue to be among the most rewarding and resource-intensive young mammals we rehabilitate.

Your sponsorship helps provide formula, browse, medical care, habitat maintenance, and expert rehabilitation support for fawns in care this season, helping these spotted youngsters grow strong enough to return to Alberta’s wild landscapes.
