Between this year and last, I'm noticing a trend that I'm not liking very much. Seems to me that any fawn born right before, during or right after bad weather has a much higher mortality rate. They seem to do great for for 3-5 days, and then are just gone the next. My thought is pneumonia. I'm thinking of giving a shot of antibiotics to every fawn born in those conditions. Good idea? Bad idea? What to give? How much to give? Any other opinions on what it could be? Thanks Wade
 
1/2 cc La 200 seems to work for us, God Luck!!

If a fawn is born under adverese or stressful conditions we give.1cc of draxxin along with .1cc of vitamin A D sq. All fawns get 3cc sq of C&D antitoxin 1cc of BO-SE sq and 5cc of ecolizer and a lambs dose of probiotic orally. Been working for us. Rick
 
the ecolizer and probiotic are in a paste form which I load in a syringe and give orally. If your not to big on shots you can give the C D anti toxin orally also. Rick
 
If your talking about the pasteurella vacine for goats would you give it at birth? I've heard that vaccines don't work on new borns because of the immunities it gets from its mom or something like that. If not, when would you suggest. Would you give 2ml SQ and repeat 21 days later as described on label? We value your opinion! Rick
 
I have had to take 3 fawn's this year because of bad weather, two of those I found in water puddle's. They were cold and near dead the third one was delivered on a cold evening in heavy rain from a young doe that just left it. One of them I could not save but the other two are about two week's old now and going strong. I know one of them never got any of mother's milk but is doing fine. I gave them 1/2 cc Draxxin as soon as I got them in and dry. I have given all of my fawn's that I left on the mother a 1/2 cc as well since it seems to rain and be cold here every day I have a fawn hit the ground. So far all are doing well. I think I could have saved the one that I lost if I had tube feed it,checked body temp. quicker and gave it something to get it back up other than just a heater.
