Things You'll Need
- Clean towel
- Small brush
Instructions
Allow the baby deer to remain wet with any fluids after it is birthed, if it is still around its mother. Removing the fluids will cause a baby deer to be rejected.
Dry the baby off if the mother has died or rejected it, as the fluid can make the baby cold if not licked off by the mother or removed with a towel.
Gather the fawn in your lap. Beginning at the head, brush down through their fur, ensuring that all areas are covered.
Repeat every two to three days. Rinse them with water every two to three weeks and towel dry.
Powder the deer with flea powder according to the package instructions to reduce the incidence of fleas and mites.
