NOTES TO KEEP YOUR FAWNS HEALTHY

PHYSICAL EXAM: 

    - This is an overall picture of the animal that identifies what is normal and what is abnormal.

         * Knowing what is abnormal is just as important as identifying what is normal.

1). Start the Physical Exam outside in the pen.

      A). Obesrve from a distance.

            i. Is the fawn resting comfortably or does it seem distressed?

           ii. Is the respitory rate normal, fast, or slow?

          iii. Is the fawn aware and alert?

          iv. Movement: Does the fawn have their head up or down, moving slowly, do they appear weak, and can they walk normal?

     B). The next step is to bring the fawn indoors and proceed with a hands on approach.

           i. Three things that are necessary are:

               1. A stethoscope- practice this on healthy deer to realize the difference when you hear one with pneumonia and

                   something is wrong.

              2. A thermometer.

              3. 5 Senses.

          ii. 5 Senses check list:

               1. Feel all the joints. Do they feel swollen?

               2. Do they seem in pain when you touch or flex the joint?

               3. Is the jaw or neck swollen?

               4. Does the abdomen feel hard or swollen?

               5. Does the belly button appear normal? Soft or hard?

               6. Are the eyes clear?

                    A. Doe they have discharge?

                    B. Signs of an Ulcer?

               7. Are the gums the right color?

                    A. Pink- Good

                    B. Red/ Purple- Bad (toxic)

                    C. White- Bad (in shock)

                    D. Blue- Bad (Lack of oxygen)

               8. Are the gums moist?

​                    A. If they are dry and tacky then they are DEHYDRATED.

               9. Tent Skin (pull the skin off the back). Does it fall quickly? If not then they are DEHYDRATED.

              10. Listen to the heart, lungs, and gut sounds.

              11. Is the hair standing up?

              12. Is the hair rough or dull?

              13. Does the fawn look bloated? 

              14. Does the fawn have diarrhea?

                    A. Does it smell abnormal?

                    B. What is the color?

          iii. Questions to ask yourself:

               1. Who did not eat as much as they did the last feeding?

               2. Who was slow coming to the bottle?

               3. Who is laying around more than normal and acting depressed or seperated from the rest?

               4. Who has scours?

          iv. Temperature

              1. Use the Thermometer in the anus of the fawn.

              2. NORMAL IS 101 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT.

              3. An elevated temperature (fever) is a good indicator of an infection, viral or bacterial.

              4. Below average temperature can also mean infection, weak fawn with not enough energy to maintain temperature.

              5.IF TO COLD:

                     A. Warm them using an incubator, heating pads, or hot water bottle. Make sure to put towel between the heat source

                          and the fawn to prevent burning their skin.

                     B. Take them inside.

                     C. Tube feed with WARM electrolytes (Karo syrup is a good supplement, mix 50/50 with warm water).

                     D. Warm fluids given SQ (Under the Skin).

                     E. Warm fluids given IV (In the vein).

                     F. DO NOT FEED WITH MILK!

               6. IF TO HOT: 

                     A. Give an Anti-Inflammatory Drug

                          i. BANAMINE (Flunixin)

                                1.  0.1 to 0.2 cc  per ten pounds of body wight IV or IM.

                         ii. DEXAMETHASONE

                                1. 0.1 to 0.2 cc per ten pounds of body weight IV or IM.

                     B. Spray with Alcohol.

                     C. Place ice packs between the front and rear legs (groins areas).

               7. IF DEHYDRATED:

                     A. If the gums are dry and skins tents too long, then it's vital to get fluids into the fawn.

                     B. TUBE FEED THEM WITH: Lacted ringers, saline, milk replacer, Gatorade, milk, water mixture with karo syrup.

                     C. IV FLUIDS: Watermixed with any of these three lactated ringers, Normal, Saline.

                     D. NEVER GIVE DEXTROSE UNDER THE SKIN!

​2). Routes of administering

         A. Oral (PO)

               i. Given by mouth.

              ii. Takes the longest for drug to get absorbed and start working.

         B. Subcutaneous (SQ)

               i. An injection given under the skin.

              ii. Not all drugs can be given this way because they may cause tissue damage.

             iii. Absorbs a little faster then PO.

         C. Intramuscular (IM)

              i. An injection given in the muscle.

             ii. Better circulation at these sites and drug is absorbed faster then SQ and PO.

            iii. This can be painful to the fawn and take the risk if injecting into blood vessel.

         D. Intravenous (IV)

             i. Injection given directly into the vein.

            ii. The fastest delivery of the drug.
