it had maggots in the few poncture wounds it had. I cleaned about 99% of them out. I guess that is why it smelled so bad. After its bath and a few bottle breaks i sat it outside on a towl. Harley is helping ALOT. He is out there right now standing over it and licking it clean. I contacted the DNR and they said that the mother will find it but the dogs brought it in and it was left in the ditch all night. I just don't think she will take it back and I
m afraid it will starve to death.

If that's the course nature chooses for the animal then that's what will be done. I am all for rescuing animals but sometimes after you call the correct office it is wise to do as they advise. I am sure I sound nasty but a friend of mine got into HUGE trouble when she tried to save a baby fox...

soo cute!!...
someone else (not sure where) also found one in their garage.. and momma came for him the next day... so if there´s a way you can have him visible for mom but safe from everything else.. I bet Harley can take the task...
I would too continue to feed until you are sure mom is there... I know what wildlife people say to leave it alone on his own.. but I just couldn´t leave it.. I could leave him nearby and very well fed... and check often and feed again if needed until momma came by...

I agree. Now that you have medicated him and cleaned him up he should go back out. His momma is probably looking for him.Originally Posted by Husky_mom

The only problem is now that there is human, dog & medication smell all over the Fawn means the mother will not accept the baby back.. You will be very lucky if she does.. Good Luck

How's the baby? I think the old wive's tale about human smell on a baby animal and the mother not taking it back has been busted for a long time.
