After Finding a Deer with a Hole in Its Cheek, a Woman Is Asking the Internet for Advice (Exclusive)

Sometimes nature works in funny ways.

TikTok user Maggie Berry found a deer with a hole in its cheek and took to the app to try and find a way to help the animal.

The deer, which Berry says was located in Oklahoma, was seen munching on some vegetation in a wooded area, though every bite was quickly expelled through the gaping hole.

“Anyone know how to help her?😢😢” the caption reads, coupled with a series of broken heart emojis.

Berry tells PEOPLE she initially shared the video in the hopes of finding solutions to help the deer, though the comments have been a mixed bag.

“Commenters had lots of suggestions,” she says. “Many suggested organizations to call, such as wildlife resources. Others told me not to call anyone and to let nature run its course, or that there was ultimately nothing that could be done for the deer.”

The video quickly gained traction, bringing in 10.5 million views and 5,900 comments. Many of the commenters on the post shared their own sadness over the deer’s situation, though plenty were confident in its ability to survive the predicament.

“Deer are insanely tough. She will most likely be okay,” one commenter wrote. “I’ve seen deer live through things no animal should be capable of living through.”

“I can just imagine.. ‘no matter how much I eat I’m always hungry’ ☹️” another shared.

In an update video, Berry shares that after contacting wildlife rehabilitation, the professionals suggested the hole may have been caused by an infected tooth — but so long as the doe is continuing to eat she’ll likely be okay.

“I ended up calling my local wildlife resource center which advised me to let the deer be, as deer are resilient and trying to catch the deer may result in capture myopathy (fatality),” she tells PEOPLE.

Though the recommendation is to leave her be for fear of causing more harm than good, Berry says she’s continuing to monitor the doe and the situation.

“I have been keeping an eye out for her and after a few weeks, I found her near the spot I first saw her. She was eating some pumpkin,” she says to PEOPLE.

Berry has also promised all of her new followers that she will continue to monitor the doe whenever she can to ensure it’s maintaining its weight.
