Fawn with swollen foot

Hi everyone, just looking for a bit of advice here. I noticed a few days ago that we had a doe fawn who was not using one of her back legs. She just holds it up all the time and uses the other 3 to get around. We left it, just figuring that she twisted it or something, from running around etc. She is eating fine and acting completely normal otherwise. I went to feed lastnight and noticed that the foot/hoof is quite swollen now, and has a sore in the front middle of it. Of course this **** is not a bottle fed.....so I'm just wondering....do I just keep an eye on things or try to dart her to give drugs etc? I can easily catch her in my catch building, I just think she will go nuts once we try to handle her.



Thanks for your time

Thanks for the replies. It is the right foot and open sore just above hoof. Pretty badly swollen. What do you recommend I treat with? She is not a bottle fed and tricky to medicate I would think. What causes foot rot?



Thanks again
