born

Has anyone had a whitetail fawn born with the eyes closed? We had a buck fawn born last night, upon inspection, we see that his eyes are sealed closed. Thanks in advance.

Had a surprise today with two perfectly healthy buck fawns walking around the pen. The mom was a live bred 3 year old that had healthy buck twins on normal schedule last year. Just wondering if anyone has had such a early fawning ever. Like I said they are healthy but I didn't expect that.

I have a friend about 20 miles from me whose female GP had four pups this week. I am going to buy one of the female pups. Our bale has been a wonderful help patrolling our pens. There are three more. They could be weened at Christmas and would make nice presents. They are in eastern Indiana...

We had a mature doe deliver a still born fawn last night. She still has some afterbirth hanging out and we suspect there might be another fawn or fawns inside, but not sure what to do next?? Is it possible that she could still deliver live fawn? Should we just wait and see what happens...

I had a fawn born last night with her eyes still sealed closed. There is a tiny opening on the inside corner of one of them. I've soaked them with warm water and also put opthalmic ointment on them. I try to pry them open but not having any luck yet. I will keep trying this but just...

This is only my third fawning season and had a first this morning. My Roben doe AI'd to Texas Tea had quads this morning. Found her laying next to a healthy buck fawn, with two doe fawns still partially in her (both back legs on each still in her up to their knees) that were dead. I then found a...

Daddy, how was I born? 'Well, son, Your Mom and I first got together in a chat room on Yahoo. Then I set up a date via e-mail with your Mom and we met at a cyber-cafe. We sneaked into a secluded room, and googled each other. There your mother agreed to a download from my hard drive. As soon as I...

I'm a little new to bottle feeding. I have two questions that I keep getting different answers to. 1)How long (feedings or days) do you stimulate fawns? 2)First month fawn gets scours. Not sure what from. What/how do you treat them? I understand you need to know more info on the scours...

Yesterday morning had a doe fawn born to a two year old, first time momma. The momma looked pregnant, but did not look like she was ready to fawn. Momma was natural bred and is one I bottle fed, so she is very tame. The fawn was just over 4 pounds and developed completely except her eyes are...

I have a buck fawn that was born July 30 of last summer. His mother died in October, but fortunately he was weaned. For some reason this little guy is one of the tamest deer I ever had (besides my bottlefeds) he comes up and eats less than 2 feet from me. Anyway I was watching him today and I...

Yesterday we had a set of fawns born. We tagged and vaccinated them and put them back out just as we have done many times before. This time one doe (who will need witness protection from me from now on) decided to beat and jump up and down on the buck fawn. We have not had x-rays done, but I am...
