I've always said the longer in this business you are the more weird things you will see. Well this year some of my fawns have developed little crusty bumps just about every where or anywhere on their body. I picked some off and looked at them under the scope. Turns out they are some kind of mite.
I treated all fawns with Ivermic Plus 1/2 cc per fawn and any that had them around the mouth area I put Bag Balm on. All crusty bumps fell off in two to three days after treatment of Ivermic. To hurry the process along I combed the fawns with a steel dog flea comb. It took off the bumps with the mites and the scab they had created right now. Just thought I'd share this with my fellow deer farmers.
