Noella the reindeer, beloved for spreading Christmas spirit across Missouri, faced a tough winter with a serious leg infection—while pregnant! Thanks to the dedicated team at Mizzou’s College of Veterinary Medicine, she not only recovered after months of surgeries and care, but also welcomed a healthy calf this spring. The compassion and teamwork from Mizzou’s vets made all the difference, showing how vital expert animal care is for local communities. Now, Noella is back at Show-Me Reindeer events, delighting families once again. What do you think about the lengths we go to for our animal friends? #Pets #Missouri #Mizzou
