Fawn found with a deformity.
A rare type of facial cleft. A Type 7 Tessier cleft, in which the face fails to stitch together starting at the base of the ear.
This baby fawn came out of the woods with it's Mom in Alabama. It was only a day or two old, unable to nurse, hungry and bleating for food. The mom took off as soon as it saw people and left her fawn. It was euthanized.
(It also has early-stage maggots at the edges of his mouth, aside from the deformity it probably was not being adequately groomed by mom.)
