Looking for advice, I have a bottle fed doe fawn that did not come up for treats 3 days ago. (FYI, the fawns were weaned from the bottle 2 days prior to this.) Anyway, I found this fawn laying immobile with her head laying back to her side. I quickly got her out of the pen and got a water bottle, which she took no problem. She was really pretty limp and could not set up or anything. My vet shot right out and we gave cortisone, nuflour, thiamine and bo-se. I have since given thiamine twice a day plus another dose of a different antibiotic and a shot of Bannamine.
She is better to the point that she will set up now, but her head always wants to stay tucked back to her right side. She will straighten her head out to take a bottle, but right away it goes back against her right side. She has a good appetite and drinks water and milk from a bottle (I put her back on the bottle until we figure this out). She has good stools and beside the fact that she can't get up and she cocks her head to one side she seems healthy. Any ideas would be appreciated...
