Had a little visitor/copilot today. This baby was found near the Publix covered in ants and severely dehydrated. Clearly something happened and she got separated from mom. I gave her some fluids and then contacted a deer rehabilitation program. She is now with them and should hopefully return to full health.
Typically, we recommend leaving fawns alone since the does will hide them while they go graze, but the person who found her did the right thing in this case. Any longer in the hot sun with no milk and she would not have made it.
