Gave a 13 week old, approx 35lb, weaned off bottle doe fawn a 1/2 cc under the skin shot of ivermectin Wednesday night. She has been very active. Thursdsay morning she was lethargic but ate alittle. Thursday lunch she ate alittle more. Thursday night lethargic and did not eat. Friday morning still lethergic and not eating. Any thoughts?
 
Personally i would give her c/d antitoxin, a shot of b complex/b-12/thiamine, and a antibiotic

I use nuflor/tetradur/draxin together, thats what works for me.

Ivermectin as a whole is pretty safe even at high doses.

Have you seen her bowel movements?
 
I just gave her 1cc of Dex. Tried to give the b complex but she jumped and ran and I go the b complex everywhere but in her. Going to make a 2nd attempt at lunch. Her Bowel movement looks normal ( dark pellets). I also made her pee and it looks normal as well. See is not running a fever temp. 100.4 and 100.0
 
EHD in your area?

sometimes you assume that what you see is a result from one thing and it may not even be related.

Why did you decide to give her the ivermectin?
 
Have not seen any signs of EHD this year. I was going to move this fawn to a bigger fawn pen and wanted to worm her before I did. At lunch I did give her a 5oz. bottle just to get something in her. She did take it but not aggressive.
