18pxI found a seemingly healthy 2 week old fawn dead this morning. 


18pxWatched him nurse last night, everything looked good.


18pxThis morning he's dead, still warm, and it feels like he is full of little air bubbles.


When I rubbed my hand along his side, you could feel and hear them.


He wasn't swelled up, looked very healthy.....what is this?


 


Thanks
