My opinion is that they are being way overdosed
at their size you should only be using .1cc longrange and .25cc max of bo-se
you are giving 10x the dosage of longrange and
at least 4x the dose of selenium for a 10 lb fawn and there are not too many of them.
I hate to see that you have lost fawns being new in the business but this should be a reminder that a person should know dosages and how to use medications before you give them. When nothing is wrong, sometimes the best thing we can do is nothing. I would suggest from here on out not do give anything and see how you get along.
selenium is toxic to the heart and the longrange can cause neurologic signs if overdosed.
Toxic Symptoms caused by Eprinomectin Poisoning-LONGRANGE
The symptoms of eprinomectin poisoning are similar to those of ivermectin poisoning and are the consequence of an excessive concentration of the molecule in the CNS (Central Nervous System) and the subsequent increase of GABA activity. Eprinomectin stimulates the release of the GABA neurotransmitter (gamma-Aminobutyric acid) in the presynaptic neurons and enhances its postsynaptic binding to its receptors. This increases the flow of chloride ions in the neurons, which causes hyperpolarization of the cell membranes. This on its turn disturbs normal nervous functions and causes a general blockage of the stimulus mechanisms in the CNS. The resulting cerebral and cortical deficits.
The following intoxication symptoms have been reported for eprinomectin in toxicity studies on laboratory animals (rodents, rabbits, etc.): ataxia (uncoordinated movements), mydriasis (dilatation of the pupils), salivation (drooling) and tremor (uncoordinated trembling or shaking movements).
