We ran into trouble this weekend. One of our three month old doe fawns ripped her mouth wide open. We don't know what happened, but we got her fixed up. Ended up with 8 stitches on the inside of her mouth and 8 more on the outside.

We have done a lot of reading on the forum and thanks to everyone for the great information on how, and what to bottle feed a baby fawn. I now have one new question how far should the new fawn be away from the other deer. We have Fallow deer.

Hello, I am by no means a deer farmer. However I have acquired a female fawn. Her mother was found dead on the road. It's not an option to call anyone in the fish/game/wildlife profession. I'm scared of what will happen to her. I want to take care of her and let her do her thing when she's old...
