| Spotted deer (Axis axis) are terrestrial animals found in the Indian subcontinent, which are listed under least concern in IUCN and are under Schedule III of Wildlife Protection Act of India 1972. A large population of spotted deer are found in Guindy National Park, which is located in the middle of Chennai city, making them highly vulnerable to automobile accidents. A spotted deer with compound comminuted fracture of the left radius and ulna and compound complete distal physeal fracture of the left metatarsus due to road trauma is rescued and treated by appropriate capture myopathy syndrome preventive measures by combination chemical and physical restraint while handling and fracture immobilization with gutter splint with window for wound dressing. The wounds on the fracture sight were treated regularly and two days interval with disturbing the fracture immobilization by external coaptation technique. The animal recovered uneventfully and was released back in to wild after rehabilitation. | ||||
