Fawn at my house, what to do

[corydd7]

Not sure what to do, this guy won't move. Brought the dogs in when I released what was going on but it doesn't seem like mom is around. 

 

Any advice?

Mom ALWAYS leaves them alone for 24-48 hours. She is nearby watching. Leave the fawn alone and it will be fine. Mom might be birthing number two or has another fawn nearby that is in hiding. Worst thing you can do is touch the fawn.

Yeah I no not to touch him but my dogs are all about trying to lick him. He is bedded right against my fence and I can't keep the dogs in all night.

Mama should come get him before nightfall. She knows where she left him. And fawns won't move far from where she left them. It'll be ok.

Crisis averted, after a loving 10 minute stare off with my dogs, the fawn went about 30 yards away to the edge of the woods .

I found a fawn in my backyard a week ago when I was picking up branches before mowing. I put off mowing for a day.took a picture and left it there. The next day it was gone.

A fawns ears will curl at the top when it's Mom has not be feeding it .
