We had to make little pads for his hooves so he wouldn't slip.

I wouldn't risk an older fawn coming under my care, around my Yorkies, because you're right, in that instance, the fawns hooves could be deadly.

As a matter-of-fact, once my fawns are 3 months old and weaned, they go to my Wildlife Vets to live until they are old enough to jump the fence and return to the wild.

I only foster orphaned babies, there are other wildlifers that do the older animals that come in. Actually haven't done anything the past two years, since getting sick.

Wow, thanks for the great explanation. I was afraid you wouldn't see it. That makes perfect sense.
