Hi, fairly new to deer rehabing. We currently have twins that were abandoned after their mom was killed by a car. Need help trouble shooting. They are approximately 1.5-2 weeks old. We have had them for 4 days.
Deer 1- female, temp is 99.8. Good energy level. Consistently going to the bathroom. However she has very low intake. Have to force feed and will only take about 1.1.5 ounces every 2-3 hours. She will eat some leaves.
Deer 2-male, temp 101.4. He will take 4-5 ounces at one feed and then only 1-2 oz at the next. Came to us with a bot fly under its skin which we removed on Saturday. Now he is trembling. And has some audible breathing through his nostrils. His urine output is not as great as his sisters.
How should we treat, what should we do?
