bloat

I know there are many threads on fawn bloat. I've read through all of them. My fawns get bloated only when they drink a bottle. They blow up like balloons. They act like they are starving. Their stools look great--pellets. No diarrhea. They seem healthy although a few of their coats look...

Hey everyone! I am brand new to having a fawn. I’ve raised a plethora of animals but never a deer. I have a 4 week old doe fawn. Up until 2.5 days ago, she was a perfectly healthy little fawn. Then all of sudden she bloated up and started grinding her teeth. I was giving her her strictly...

Just curious if anyone who has ever had problem with bloat, specifically with bottle fed fawns, has ever used baking soda to help with the problem. If so, how much did you use, did you put it straight into the bottle, and did it work? Thanks for your feedback!

I have a few fawns that are getting bloated after they eat. There stools and temperatures are fine. They are eating protein and grass also. I have given them antitoxin, penicillin, and thiamine. Was just wondering if anyone had any idea why this would be happening. Their ages range from a week...

A fellow deer farmer has a buck fawn with what appears to be bloat. It almost seems as if it's more up towards his chest rather than back in his belly. He doesn't have a picture, but also explained that he eats fine, and acts fine, but now has scours.   This fawn is not tame enough to handle...

2 of our buck fawns(over a month old) have contracted "lumpy jaw" or so we have been told. These fawns have been treated with Penicillin in the mouth, on site, between shoulders & in muscle. Not a noticable difference in thier appearance yet, as its not even been a week since we treated those 2...

I have two fawns brother and sister. They both had coccidia early on and they haven't grown much in 3 months or so. I thought that they were just short and fat cause of early sickness but they both have scours real bad again now. I guess they have had bloat for months now. Is that possible. I...

It is with a heavy heart that I post this thread in the hopes that you folks may have had a similar experience. Two weeks ago I let my fawns into a pen with four foot high rye grass. Two hours later I had a fawn down with massive bloat. He was symmetrically tight as a drum. After tubing...

I had 2 twin buck fawns and I noticed they both had bloody stools 2 weeks ago. Gave Ivomectin and both cleared up and looked great. This week I noticed we could walk extremely close without them jumping up. We gave Target Electromax, B-12, and pedialyte hoping that they were only dehydrated. We...
