Have a four week old buck fawn who I noticed two days ago was not quite as spunky as he should be. Wasn't able to catch until today as he got slower and I could sneak up on him. He stumbled as he tried to get away and was unsteady. Upon examination I found an infected navel. Infection was about the size of a nickel and did not appear real deep. Cleaned with peroxide, treated with red coat antiseptic spray. Gave him one cc nuflor, 1.5 cc vitamin b, and 1/2 cc ivomec in case any parasites had gotten to him although none were evident. He was somewhat thinner than others. Went back later and got him to drink about four oz milk and pulled him to keep cool in this heat and also to keep flys away.
Any other suggestions???
