Hello! I'm new here, so I'm tried looking for answers and didn't have much luck. I have two white tail does who live around my house that have two separate health problems, one of them quite serious.
Cutear, the more serious one, looks to have been hit by a car, (not seriously) this was about a week and a half ago. Her scabs are starting to finally flake off of her back and butt, but now she is having other problems. A few days ago, she started barfing... a lot. She has always eaten tomatoes and apples from me, and now I've stopped since she can't keep them down. The weird thing is is when she barfs, the food isn't coming up, it is a white foamy stuff. I went back to feeding her bread and willow trees and she seems to be keeping that down now, finally! Unfortunately, she has lost a lot of weight since then, and is now having some bad diarrhea. She is finally starting to introduce fruit back into her system, but she won't eat enough to start putting the weight on again. My questions are, do you think something happened during her accident to screw up her digestive system, what would be a good thing to try and feed her to bulk back up, and if she continues the diarrhea what can I give her to try and stop it? Remember, she is wild, but she hangs at my house almost everyday, so she isn't always around.
My second deer, not as serious as a problem, has a huge lump on her front right knee. It seems to have finally stopped growing, it is the size of a tennis ball, and it doesn't seem to completely hinder her walking yet. Maybe there is something I can do? Again, she is wild as well, and currently has two baby fawns with her.
Thanks so much for any help!
