This is a bottle fed doe that is 6 years old and very tame. She just had triplets about two weeks ago, and for the past week she is running the fences, grunting, and following me around throughout the pen so close that when I stop she will physically run into me. She is acting like a scared...

One of my deer cut her hoof a couple weeks ago. Just took about a 3" patch of hide off, not a deep cut at all. It seemed to being okay for a while, but in the last couple days it seems to have swollen quite a bit, and she doesnt want to walk on it much at all. She mostly lays down. She will eat...

I've moved several does in their second and third trimesters, but put in a situation where the seller would like to move four live-bred does this weekend, obviously bred for 4-6 weeks. It would be a five-hour trip and at least two would have to be darted due to lack of facilities, but the other...
