sick baby deer

I was given a fawn on Monday and she is about 2 months. She will hardly drink any water or milk she has been raised on goats milk she eats a little grass but very little and will not eat any grain she was eating some before the last few days. She only drank 1 cup of milk yesterday and a couple of swallows of water. She is urinating and pooping some. Her gums are very pale not pink. She only wants to lie around, but when I first got her she had trouble standing up which came on pretty fast. Up to that time she was up and running. At least yesterday and today she able to stand and she did graze a little. What can I do to help her?

This fawn needs to get to the care of a wildlife rehabilitator as soon as possible. You can find one in your area at: http://www.agfc.com/species/Pages/SpeciesWildlifeRehabilitation.aspx
