? on increasing fawn milk

Is there a schedule for increasing a fawn's milk intake as it grows.

Right now our fawn is 10 days old getting 4oz of land o lakes goat replacer cut 50%. feeding her every three - 4 hours. Giving her some electrolytes as well. Vitamin pro biotics too. She full of spunk and seems to be doing well, alert and runs around. Hair gettin fuzzy now.Still monitoring the soft poop that's mustard yellow and the consistency of wet clay. Upped the oz from 4 - 6,7oz, she got diarhea bad for 12hrs. cut her back again, now is getting firm again

Thanks,

JM

Here's my schedule for amounts of milk .. I'm sure everyone has their own way ! 1-3 days 2oz 5 times a day ...3-10 days 3-4oz 4 times a day 10-20 days 5-6 oz 4 times a day 21-45 days 6-8 oz 4 times a day 45-55 days old 10-12 oz 3 times a day 55-70 days old 12-16 oz 2 times a day then I go to 16 oz once a day for a week or two and wean , Give them dirt or brobiotics the second week of feeding and offer grain and water too ! I have weaned fawns earlier if they eat enough grain and grass . Just the way I do it but everyone has what works for them .

this is the way we have feed for the last couple years it works great for us we got it from another deer farmer on here

Thanks for the replies.

Is the vitamins in an injectible state or are the powder in form. Do you have to get them from a vet?



JM

the albon from a vet the rest we got at farm MFA farm supply all are liquid

We start them out letting them eat all they want each feeding as they grow they eat more but don't over eat cause they are custom to eating until they are full. Works great no problems.

thanks for the response,

JM
