Baby Deer

Can you tell me what I should do? I have a orphaned baby deer we found it on the side of the road its mother had been hit by a car. We have been bottle feeding it and has been doing pretty good. We are using calf formula. It seems to be getting unsteady on its legs now and can't walk. I don't want it to die if I can help it who should I call.

It needs to go to a wildlife rehabilitator who is licensed to care for fawns. You can find a list of rehabbers at: http://www.ncwildlife.org/InjuredWildlife.aspx Good luck to the fawn!
