    suggestion for bottle feeding

    last year I had some issues with loose stool and diarrhea.  All went away with fawn paste, pumpkin and antibiotics. I thought I would try something different this year.  I have been adding 1 spoonful of pumpkin per one cup of powdered milk.  My fawns have had the best stool they have ever had.
