EHD should’ve died out a long time ago. Not sure what acidosis is. It is very common for CWD infected deer to drool, but overall the deer doesn’t look near as thin as most symptomatic CWD look imo. Is CWD in your area ?

It's on my place.
Acidosis (corn toxicity) is a fear as I fed grain for the first time this year. January until about a week ago.
I honestly don't know of CWD having been reported in the area. Doesn't mean it's not here...
I figured EHD wouldn't be around yet as the midge that spreads it probably isn't out from winter yet. I don't know that for a fact though.

Hope it isn't bovine tuberculosis.

I just found this, but it's a deer known to have been hit by a truck. That's why the goofy side. He went missing about a year ago. Doubt the same thing but he didn't look good before dissapearing.   |

Art might know more about acidosis, but I recall topics on it over the years and deer in the wild its very rare. They are browsers and get a mix in their belly. put a deer in a cage and feed it only corn and then things may happen. |

If only there was a vet or a deer specialist on here to take a look.

Most grain overloads would show bloat and sometimes diarrhea if they live past the first few days. The worst day in a group of cattle is usually the third day after the abrupt feed change.
I would worry about other diseases or perhaps an individual animal thing.
Either way, keep the dead/ sick deer away from your cattle.

It was gone when I looked for it last night. I'll look again this afternoon. May call the game warden if I find her. Thanks for the replies guys! |

I want opinions from you guys...
Does it do any good to contact the game warden on this? Can they do anything to help, or will I be inviting regulations and problems? I've seen sick deer off and on over the years. Nothing ever came of it. If it is CWD will government knowledge just create more issues than the disease itself?

I've often wondered what I'd do if I had an obviously sick deer on cam. I "think" what I'd do is try to eliminate the concern and STFU. I guess I don't know what I'd do until I had to do it though. |

The first thing my wife said "better go shoot it". I didn't as it's so ingrained in me that you don't break game laws that the thought of it felt wrong... Never really thought about it before. |
