I lost 5 or 6 in a row that got dehydrated their mother's licked them clean and never let them nurse. When it's sunny and 100 degrees out it doesn't take long for them to get dehydrated. We started giving them all as much goat colostrum as we could get them to take within 3hrs of birth after that and again in 6-8 hrs and we pulled everything within 2 days and didn't loose another fawn to dehydration. If their mother wont stand and let them nurse and they die of dehydration in my eyes it's their mother's fault. Between dehydration and EHD I ended up with only 4 buck fawns out of 12.
I am glad you got it figured out. Sucks loosing fawns.
