What happens if I find a fawn?
- First, keep in mind that the doe will leave the fawn for short periods of time while foraging, so finding a solo fawn does not necessarily mean it has been abandoned.
- If the baby is cold, emaciated, diseased, confused or if its safety is being threatened, call the local conservation agency to contact a facility that care for fawns.
- If these things are not the case, leave the fawn alone and leave the area. The mother will not return if people or pets are present.
- Never attempt to give milk of any kind to a fawn. They have very delicate digestive systems, and doing so may result in causing them severe diarrhea.
