I originally had this thread titled under "Lice?", but decided to start a new one after my daughter took pictures of the doe fawn, which I will be posting. She has moderate hair loss on her neck and the top of of her back near the shoulders. It has spread to her nose and sides of her face after...

I have a yearling doe that has developed kind of black streaks in her hair. mostly around neck. I have seen pics of alot of deer that look like this. What would cause it and should I be concerned?

Today I visited my deer Rosa and her pals. My Rosa has never looked so awful to me. I noticed about a month ago, when we had extreme heat that her hair was beginning to thin our a lot around her neck. I looked really closely and didn't notice any type of lice or any other topical issues...

I have been battling hair loss on various animals in different pens for some time now. Its back again. We feed a complete (pelletized) ADM feed. Alphalfa hay We treat 4 times per year with a rotating wormer schedule, as well as bring them through the chute twice per year for other...

Hi all, We have had a problem going on for some time now and until now have attributed it to mites or some form of lice. Until recently we have had no fatalities. Yesterday we had an adult do (was the worst with the hair loss looked pink from bare skin showing) die. I have our back up...

Hello all, I just love this site and all of you that have experiance and knowledge to share to us that don't. About a week ago we noticed that one of our yearling does was starting to lose her hair around her belly area. The day after that we noticed another one had some patches of lost...

A friend took in a doe fawn yesterday. It is an estimated 10 weeks old, been kept in a house, fed an assortment of people food, three bottles a day of Universal milk replacer. It started losing it's spotted summer coat soon after it was found. It still has summer coat on head, neck, some at...

Have a fawn on the bottle that is loosing his hair. He is only 18 days old and I just noticed it a couple of days ago. Smallest of quads, he only weighed 2lbs. Also, he seems healthy as a horse.

One of my button bucks has shed almost all the hair off the back of his ear's! Anyone know why? There's a few ticks on his ears...has he scratched all the hair off his ears? Poor little ears are now sunburnt! No other deer are showing any of these symptoms.

I have a doe that for the last two years in the spring the other does eat the hair off of her. It is completely down to the skin on her sides. I removed her from the pen last year and they strarted on another one. It just happens in the spring. I called my vet that does about 15 other farms and...

I'm new to this deer farming and have less than a year in raising deer. I noticed tonight feeding my deer that a doe fawn has a lot of hair missing around the base of her tail. She is in with 6 buck fawns, I'm not sure if they are doing this to her. I was just wanting some input on why this...

I am having a problem with a couple of my does eating the hair from others. At least that is what I think is happening; I have not yet seen this first hand but have seen a hair or two in some mouths. I currently have two does that have absolutely no hair in large areas on their sides (5"x10")...

We have a fawn that is almost a month old and when he was born he had no hair on his face. Over the last couple weeks he has lost all the hair off his legs up to his knees. We are concerned if he is going to get hair by time winter gets here. Is there anything that we can give him or not.

This morning we had given my 2 week old fawn a shot of LA 300 for coughing. He would only cough every once in a while, but I don't want to wait to long. He got the shot in his back leg which is really seeming to bother him. Today where he got the shot yellowish stuff was coming out of it. Is...

I have a yearling that is loosing hair on her rump. I am not sure if she is pulling it out because the flies, dry skin or something else. The rest of the does are fine. We put CyLence on all of the does a fews weeks ago because the flies were bad which worked immediately but may be wearing...

I have a mature pie doe that all winter long has been loosing a lot of hair. Both of her sides are almost completely gone. It looks very similar to how they grow their summer hair. She came from a very unheatlhy farm and I lost the one doe that came from the same place and don't want to loose...

Anybody have an idea why or how to stop a bottle fed fawn from pulling it's hair out and nipping at other deer. It looks like it's trying to eat the hair off the other deer. They have plenty of feed. About the time it started, we got a bunch of snow. Threw a bale of hay in but it's still...

This fawn is approx. five weeks old. He is severely malnourished, bad hair loss on the neck and belly and the rest of the hair is thin, brittle and can easily be pulled out in clumps. He has such a severe hollow in front of his pelvis that you can palpate the anterior portion of his spine. He...

Last fall my deer herd started having problems with losing their hair. I thought it was parasites and treated them with Ivomec. That is what the vet told me to try. As they started to get their summer coats they looked good but after about two weeks they started to lose patches of hair from...
