We live in a heavily wooded area and deer are frequently in our yard.
This morning I went out in our back yard to work and accidentally spooked a fawn that was camouflaged in the long grass.
It ran into the woods adjacent to our house.
I know doe's leave them throughout the day and come back to feed them, but now I'm worried that I just separated this baby from it's mom.
Will they be able to find each other? I feel like absolute shit.
I have 4 acres in upstate ny. It was very overgrown due to a broken mower. I mowed today and in the course of 3 hours scared 3 fawn who darted into the woods. Later that evening I saw the mother looking for them. I feel awful. Will she find her babies again?
I found a fawn walking on the highway. It’s ears are curled but I know that isn’t a good indicator. But the skin on it’s shoulderblades go down really slow, it’s nose is extremely dry and cracked as well as its mouth, it has a lot of mucus and it’s eye is swelling. So I’m assuming it hasn’t nursed in a while. When it breathes it wheezes. All of the rehabbers are closed for the evening so I would hate to leave it and wait for the mom and for it to get crushed and see it dead the next day so I’m lost.
