Just wondering what some opinions would be on a doe that we have that just isn't acting right.
Her one ear is hanging and she just isn't herself right now. She is due around May 26th, but usually has her fawns a week early. So putting her in the chute to see what is going on is out of the question as is with darting her. She shakes her head alot and my guess would be an ear infection of some kind. She also is keeping her tail tucked which to me is another sign of some kind of distress.
Is there a safe antibiotic out there that is safe to dart this far along in pregnancy? She is not tame, actually one of our wilder does but an important doe as she is really starting to show that she is a producer.
I would post a picture, but like I said she is one of our wilder does and I don't know that a picture would even show anyone anything besides her one ear hanging.
I would really appreciate anyone's opinion on this because I'm quite concerned about her.
Thanks
