Chillin' with the herd
I have a young doe (born April) with a bloody left horn. I can't tell if she broke it, or cut her head. She is very sensitive about it being touched, but she did let me try wiggling it. It does move slightly, but not floppy. I am assuming it is because she has baby horns and they are still growing, since her right side moves slightly and are soft.
I noticed she was acting droopy this morning and wasn't really interested in her food. At first, I wondered if it was the rain, but everyone else was good. While at work, I asked my sister to check and she found the blood on her horn (not sure how I missed it, since I had handled her head to check her eyes for worms).
She has gotten a dose of Vit B today and I just gave her some probiotic/mineral boost. I also checked her temperature and she is at 106.5F.
I am going to put some Goldenseal on her horn, but otherwise, I don't really want to mess with it unless I have to, since it seems to stress her out.
Is there anything else I should be doing? Any tips would be wonderful!
