Dixie you want to give them a little help when they are born.....atleast a lot of farmers do........We give a few shots and also iodine the imbellical (spelling?) cord. this helps to keep it form getting infected..........the shots we give are 3cc's sub q of poly serum, 3cc's of C&D Anti sub q and 3cc's of Barguard orally. you also can give them 1/2 cc of bose as well...........or you can just tag them and hope for the best. just telling you what has worked for us!! Good Luck........if it doesn't stop raining here we are going to have to give each fawn a life jacket as well!!!
