I have a doe fawn that has runny stool not scours but light tan colored and has air bubbles in it. Looks almost like foam....Still eating, don't seem to be sick. Im feeding red cap, I have never seen this before? Today was the second day of it. I did give her gas drops a couple of times. Anyone know the cause?
 
We just went through the same thing with all of out bottle feds 10 of them. We determined that it was Rota Virus. We fed two feedings of merricks Blue Ribbon Electolytes and one feeding of milk. We also feed one feeding of Pectilyte (BIO VET) brand at full strength dose. We did this for about four days strait. The electolytes we fed them as much as they would drink. After the stool started to get more firm we took away one of the feedings of electrolyes and started them back onto the straight milk but still kept them on the one feeding of Pectilyte. After 6 days of feeding all but one are now pooping pellets :). We also gave them .2cc of baytril in the muscle, and 1cc of LA200 (not tetradure its to strong) per 10 pounds in the bottle, and 1cc of sulfa per 10 pounds in the bottle. The biggest thing is to keep them well hydrated, we went to feeding four times a day instead of three. The picture is what our fawns had for poop. This seemed to work great for us hope this helps you out. If you have any questions give me a call.
