    Fawn collapses after #2

    We have a fawn rehab and have an interesting first time experience with a fawn. She’s a bit over a week old and eats good from a bottle. When we help her go poo after she’s done she collapses. Her legs give out. After a bit she gets up and is fine. Any thoughts on what would cause it?
