3048:sick deer 2
Out of two fawns i had born on 7-5-09 one of them just doesn't look good at all. She is about half the size of the other one. She seams toeat and drink fine. Everytime i go out to feed she is one of the first to show up. She has a pot belly but her hips to me seam sunk in and just overall she doesnt look healthy. A friend of mine said it looks like ACIDOSIS from the pictures i sent him of the deer. He said i need to try and get her to drink GRAPE GATORADE. He says this will level out her electrolytes and should help fix her up. He said to put a bucket of Gatorade by the water bucket and keep it full. This way hopefully she will drink from this. This is my first year in farming and i only have two pens completed so this deer is in with 3 others and i can only get about 20 feet from her before she takes off. I posted a couple of pictures of this deer. In the second picture you can see how much smaller this doe is compared to the other one next to her that is the same age. Has anybody seen or herd anything about this and know of anything i can do to try and help this deer.
