When I pulled this fawn from mother to bottle feed I noticed swelling and split hoof, vet said maybe foot rot, so I removed bad part of hoof, soaked daily with Epsom salt, penicillin daily, oral bacteria med, kept hoof clean put Neosporin daily then after a week this is what it looks like, is this normal or should I do something more? P.S. has slit smell to it

I am not sure as I have never treated a fawn for this.....however it looks infected...I just had a fawn on deaths door from an infection from it's ear tag.....I gave it combi pen ( penicillin ) long lasting.......the fawn is doing great! I gave the fawn 3 cc's.....like I said this is just a suggestion......I hope it works out for you....
