I had one like that the other night......I dried it with hair dryer......and got it under a heat lamp ....once I got its temp up I got it to take the bottle......it was a long night but she is doing great right now!!

I agree with Dennis, warm is important, and so is hydration. If it is too weak to suck, drench with pedialyte or other water/electrolyte/energy combo, and keep warm.

When checking a fawn's temperature, what is normal?

Robbie · May 23, 2010

101.5 is perfect in a mature deer. Fawns can vary, 99 - 103 can be OK depending on your climate and any other external factors. Just have to know your deer.
