I have a 3 yr old doe that birthed a single fawn on June 11th. She is my jumpiest doe, so at 2 days old I took the doe fawn to bottle raise it.
Last Thursday, 10 days after delivering the fawn, the doe appeared ill. She was walking humped over and very uncomfortable. I had never seen this before from any of my deer so,I watched her until Saturday morning with no improvement, so I darted her. On the inspection, I discovered that she must have an infection in her uterus, because she had yellow discharge. I admistered 7 cc of Baytril, a liberal amount of probios and reversed her.
The next couple days she seemed more alert and starting to walk better, but have only seen her drink, not eat.
This morning she was laying in her normal spot but looked wet under her rearend. I made her get up to discover that she now has blood oozing from her ******l area.
What do I do now?
