help

to make a long story short I bought some sweet feed and fed it to our deer as I always did, and when it came to feeding the fallow there was a big clump of what was thought to be just feed and molassas,,,WELL let me tell you I noticed my buck getting thinner and thinner, really fast told better half I didnt know what was wrong and if we lost frosty I would be upset, well one day he came to the feeder and was grinding his jaw, I said Frosty please let momma look in your mouth and low and behold he opened his mouth, there I thought was maybe broken teeth or jaw and I knew I had to check this out, so without us having a dart gun or shoot to work him in I roped him by one horn after I got him worked into the baby pen and it took about 5 minutes to get him tied securely to a tree and then another 5 minutes to get the thing out of his teeth well the cause of this problem was a square type electric fence insulator one I NEVER have used, I was so teed that I took this matter up with the feed store, and told them about this as I didn't want this happening to anyone else, thank god it was my fallow buck instead of white tail as I know I would of never got them roped, but my question is this he will not let me near him at all and he has developed a infection now, is there any type of antibiotic that I can put on his feed?? as I mentioned he is really leary of me right now and I don't want to loose this guy I have posted some photos of him while he was tied up, I sure didn't want him to get loose

I only had him tied up long enough to get that insulator our of his teeth, then came in the house got a penicillian shot and I did get some pour on wormer on his back,and take his photo , he is eating now but is soooo think and I think he does have a infection in his jaw or sinus area as his eyes are not looking to great, I talked to the feed place where I got this feed and they said if there was any type of anitbiotics that they have that I could put onto his feed they would sure help, I have tried some penicillian with brown sugar water poured onto his feed he ate some of it but does ate most of it, don't think it will hurt them

and the feed store gave me a new lariot as mine was ruined as I had to cut him loose didn't want to take a chance and just try to get it off his horns, I did the best with what I could work with

But i would get him worm shot Also.Go to feed store,get wormer.and good dose La 200,rope now that is great tool!! for dentist work Guess feed closed today!!Not sure I would dart him in his cond. less just meds.only my thoughts Rope work fine Probably do all in feed.check with your feed store see,if they got something to add.which can be trick getting them to eat it,Good luck, Worm for sure!! get him some wormer pellet for about 3 day Make him eat. could squirt some La 200 on sweet Feed for few days,. little corn oil on pellet sure help.In fact little corn oil ,for get cold wont HURT!!
