fawn paralyzed??

richie0033 · Sep 17, 2013

Found a fawn in the pen today that cant move his back legs..Has bloat and I punctured and released that. He can feel pain and flinch in his legs..just can use them. Anyone ever had this, has a mark on head like he was kicked but he is 30 feet from fence..so I dont think he hit it

could be from hit to head/neck, or from tetanus.

I'd give him some Dex to reduce swelling if you think it is from getting hit.

Gave meds. Xray negative. Now just wait

IF IT IS FROM AN IMPACT IT WILL TAKE TIME, SEVERALS DAYS TO SEVERAL WEEKS, TO RECOVER. You will have to keep up with Dex shots for a while.

good luck.
