Deer

From: Derek J City: lewisburg, KY
Yes, I live on a farm and my grandfather ran over a baby deer with the hay mower and cut all 4 legs off from the knee down. Even if the deer does not die from infection, will it be able to walk on its nubs as it gets older? I really don't see it making a recovery, but we thought we would give it a try. Just need some advice !

I am guessing that the fawn is already dead, but if it is not...it needs to be euthanized immediately. A deer would never survive in the wild with those sorts of injuries.
