Rare Strikingly Beautiful Baby Fawn Becomes A Star After Mother Rejected Him
A rare piebald fawn with a white face was saved from certain death after its mother rejected it after birth. Although the fawn was strikingly beautiful with blueish eyes, the mother, who was also piebald, rejected the fawn, nearly stomping him to death.
Hilary Powell, the owner of the farm, became the fawn's surrogate mom when his mother, Bunny, rejected him. Powell carefully nursed him from a bottle four times a day. The whole family made sure the fawn got extra care and attention to help him overcome the health conditions that accompanied the piebald genetic trait. Deer who are born piebald tend to have hearing and vision impairments, and the fawn also had complications from infections.
