for I think a broken hind leg. IT IS IN MY CAR RIGHT NOW! I could not leave it there to die, or take it to a clinic to euthanize. WHAT WOULD YOU DO???I have a baby deer! I hit a baby deer tonight w/ my car (yes, I felt TERRIBLE!!!). It was ok I think except..
My mom and I used to rehabilitate deer and often got them from local vets who would call and ask us to take them. You need to get the fawn to a vet who treats exotic animals. Your average local vet may not have the experience or feel comfortable treating wildlife. The vet will be able to x-ray the leg and check for any internal bleeding and give it pain medicine. PLEASE, it is very important to get the fawn in to see a vet. I'm also a surgery nurse, trust me, if the fawn has internal bleeding it could be in some serious trouble. Even if there isn't internal bleeding it still needs to be treated and medicated for pain. You will not get into trouble with the authorities if you ask for help, I promise. Good luck and kiss the fawn for me. And thank you for helping the fawn, many people just leave them, it is because of people like you that Mom and I were able to rehabilitate deer and release them back into the wild to live another day.I have a baby deer!

If there is an emergency vet clinic take it to them. Usually larger emergency clinic will have rehab contacts they can call.
take it to the vet if theyre nice they will not charge you as you don't own it if the vet looks at the leg and sais it should be find tell him to patch it up and youre gonna have to look after it for a while. if the vet says there isnt a pointr in it because it wont heal hes gonna have to put it down
take it to the animal well fare ! they will look after it mend its leg and put it back in the wild !
Call a park ranger. They will know what to do.
I would call animal control. They should be able to determine if it can be saved. Good luck!
a vet could give so much more advice than anyone on the Internet could so take it to a vet.
The poor thing needs a vet. Take it out of the car and get it some water - not too cold. It needs a warm, safe place to rest. See if there is an emergency vet nearby or if you can reach your regular vet. The leg needs to be set and that baby is in a lot of pain. Hope you find someone to help.

it think it is kind of funny that you decided to go onto Yahoo and ask this question.....
It is way more cruel to keep an animal alive with an injury that is unsaveable. A fractured leg on a deer is not something it will recover from. Your keeping it in immense pain and prolonging its suffering. It is illegal to keep a wild animal in your possession without a liscense, this includes a deer.





You need to put it in the perspective of if you had fractured your leg and now just waited all night to see medical attention. That is animal cruelty at its finest.





Take it to the vet so they can put it out of its misery.
First off calm down, it can feel your panic %26amp; he needs you right now. It was not your fault so do not be afraid to call 911 if you can't find the number to the zoo, overnite vet., animal control or forest service. The police will and can help you in finding help for the poor baby. Hugs to you both. Oh yea DO NOT LEAVE IT ALONE, it will hurt itself more.
Do you not have an animals welfare , or a wild life farm or such like? Is their a Rangers post nearby?Keep it covered up , and take it to a vet or something like that. It will be in pain, so don't delay. They might be able to fix it. Better to put it to sleep if it can't be fixed. It's not your fault, it's one of those hazards. At least you stopped.Good Luck!
Call Animal Control or take to a vet, just take care of the poor thing. It's not okay if you think the leg is broken. Please get it help!!! Good luck;^(
do you have a fenced yard to put the deer in for the night if so keep him over night if not find local wildlife animal refuge and call then they will let you know hwat to do with the little one

Call the police and/or veterinarians or animal control. They can help you locate a wildlife rehabilitator %26amp; someone that could provide medical care. Also, look in the phone book for your nearest major city %26amp; see if anything is there under ';wildlife';. Be very careful %26amp; don't get kicked. It may be much stronger than it appears. Do you live anywhere near Greensboro, they have a place I think though it may be closed at night - can't remember the name %26amp; have no phone book. Anyone out there know? Carolina Veterinary Specialists in Greensboro may be able to assist you- they are very smart folks %26amp; if they can't help, they may be able to refer you %26amp; they are OPEN ALL NIGHT %26amp; ON WEEKENDS. CALL THEM. Good Luck!
Take it to a vet, just because it's got a broken leg it doesn't mean they'll kill it.


they're not horses.
