One week old doe fawn has been drinking a 50/50 mix of milk replacer and redcap for the first 4 or 5 days with a good appitite. Had a slightly loose stool and so I gave her 2 bottles with 3 drops of pepto bismal. Stool looked better and then the last 48 hours she has very little appitite and when I try to stemulate her she appears to try to go but can't or won't deficate. Now what do I do? Never heard of a deer enema but she needs help fast! Any suggestions? Thanks, Tom

Get a little mineral oil in her!! You can get it about anywhere.Walmart,dollar general,You should only be using like a half cup to mabey one cup of replacer to a gallon of redcap.Im not sure what you mean by 50/50.

A couple drops in one bottle should be a plenty! Trust me a little will go GA long way! Lol
