I am having trouble with one of my fawns, she will take the bottle and has been for about three weeks but she will not take it from the tip of her nose she wants to chew on the nipple from the side of her mouth. I have been trying to correct this problem but can not seem too. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Sounds like the 2 week old "stupids" to me. Usually it's because they're having trouble curling their tongue, try supplementing some B1/thiamine for a few days.
 
ive got one wont take a bottle at all, but will drink anything you give him out of a cup or bowl in a heartbeat....
