I just noticed I have a doe that doesn't seem to be able to open her mouth to eat. She has no noticeable swelling in the jaw/head area or any other injuries I can see. She is salivating a little but I think that is due to not opening her mouth and breathing thru a pretty much closed mouth. Not sure what to think what is going on. Any thoughts?

jonathan texas tech is doing some research on ehd. if you survive a virus you can create t cells that will fight that virus. those t cells can be transferred through mothers milk. doe survives fawns have t cells stronger herd. if you know any of this to be not true, i am just smart enough to be dangerous. most of the guys on here seem very intelligent and i love reading their experiences.

I would love to read about this info. If you can forward any link to the info that would be awesome. In the mean time I will try to find it myself. Once I suggested to Jerri Lee that if someone could find a way to milk south Texas doe of their colostrum and sell it, they would be rich. Lol

If she is that strong I would tranquilize her and check her mouth and throat. It is possible she may have something stuck in her mouth. Usually if their jaw is injured it will hang open. Does she have a lot of thistles in her pen? A swollen tongue, difficulty swallowing, fever, mouth sores, injury, EHD, and pneumonia will all cause them to drool.

I could not find the exact research from Texas A&M that you mentioned. I did however find a informative report by CMR titled the Current Status of Veterinary Vaccines. I was researching information on viruses that are most water soluble and if these are more susceptible to vaccines when I read their report.
