My son in Tennesee found a tiny little fawn in the ditch,sadly the doe was lying beside it and had been run over,the fawn left to die

Anyone have any tips? I know goats milk will work,she has eaten a little,son says just enough to sustain at this time,she still has her spots

My sons heart hopes it will stay but his head knows it needs to be with its own kind doing what deer do

It will be awhile yet,as it is young enough to still have its spots

Hope the deer makes it

Heres a pic of the one baby deer a friend of mine found

She had it in the house doing goat milk and then was going to move it outside as she raises deer, but it ended up dying after 3 weeks.

(my mom feeding it in the pic)

I think the whole damn house is gated off Snitty,My son is a bit of an animal lover,someone dumped a knocked up minpin on him,evidently bred by a chihauhau.so she is in the house ready to have puppies,the miniature goat had twins and would only accept one so yep,you can guess where the other one is.

My daughter in law must have the patience of Jobe is all I can say to put up with my son
