bow-legged and flat foot

tom l · Jun 5, 2011

twin buck fawns,week old today,pulled morning after birth, at 5 days i noticed a possible problem. he gets around ok but, picture a cartoonish bow-legged cowboy with flat feet! just his front two legs.just the one fawn, the other one seems normal. any way, is this genetic,health issue of the doe when pregnant,or something else entirely. i could send a pic by way of cell phone, but not on computer.

thanks for your input

Selinium deficiency!!!!! Do a search and see what you need to do

Like Scott said Selinium, Give them 1/4 to 1/2 ML of BOSE depending on there size.

they both received 1 cc SQ when apprx. one day old. my vet said to be careful as you can give them too much and kill them with an overdose if there is not a lack of selenium in our area. that being said,, do i give the one another .5 to 1 cc and is this SQ or IM?

thanks
