Sick Little Deer

Around 8am this morning I looked out the window and saw this little deer standing on the lawn by our tree.  I told my husband to come and look at the deer because it wasn’t acting right and that it looked sick.  The baby deer tried to shake it’s head and body and just about fell over.  Later she/he came and layed down by our back porch and has stayed by the back porch all day.  We put some hay and water by the porch but she/he doesn’t seem to interested in eating it.  It is eating snow and the dead grass and leaves by the house.  I just looked out the door again and she/he was standing on the other side of the porch.  She/He doesn’t seem to be afraid of us too much and I was able to open the door and get a few good pictures.  The second and third pictures were taken from our dining room window.  I hope it stays around the house for awhile so we can help it get better, hopefully.  We just looked outside and it is asleep by the corner of the house so my husband went out and scattered some hay and leaves (a bag of leaves that was gathered this fall) by the back porch for it to lay on or eat.
