broken leg of a month old fawn.

I searched up on top of page "broken leg", there is a post by veegirl1025 dated 7/26/14 that has several suggestions. Try finding it, might help you.

Your on the right track. Fawns are amazing at healing broken legs. I was told by an old deer breeder back when I had one of my first fawns break a back leg that was flopping to just leave it alone and within less then 2 weeks it was putting weight on it and by a month you'd never known it had a break. I think the less you mess with it the better. The main thing is going to be keeping it calm and getting it started on a bottle at a month old. If you've mastered that and can keep it in a place where it won't get spooked, it should heal itself pretty quick.

most of the time you are better off NOT casting or binding the leg. Put the fawn in a small undisturbed spot where it can't move far, like three feet X three feet. Kept it fed and calm. It will heal on it's own in 2-3 weeks.


 


Casting or binding the leg usually causes places to wear and abrade, causing open sores and possibly infection. I would cast it as a last resort.
