Fawn with diarrhea

I have a 2 week old fawn who is eating good and running around playing but has severe diarrhea have cut back on milk nothing is working need help please

I’m sorry for the late response - I’m new & just joined this evening.

Just in case you ever encounter this situation again here are some helpful tips - 1. if you can, get a colostrum replacer - his/her diet should consist only of this until the diarrhea has subsided, 2. plain, organic yogurt with *live active cultures* and probiotics as well, 3. pumpkin works wonders - 1tsp per 8oz bottles, 4. hydrate, hydrate, hydrate! if the tips of the fawns ears are curling, its a sign that he/she is dehydrated. You can simply prepare a bottle with unflavored pedialyte in place of water.
