Derby Kansas
I was reading some book earlier sitting in bed when my mom is screaming, "EMILY YOU BETTER GET UP HERE RIGHT NOW!!" and I run upstairs she points at the garage door and she says "Look what your dad brought home." Well I run outside and my dads standing with his back towards me and I just see ears sticking out they look like chihuahua ears but then he turns around and theirs this ADORABLE baby deer sitting in his arms, blue eyed spotted baby. He found the baby laying in the middle of the road calling for its mama. We got milk replacement from Atwoods and giant bottle but I think we should get a smaller bottle because it can't fit its mouth around it so well. Well we realized it had ticks all over its ears and so I started using tweezers and getting a couple out but he doesn't sit still so well, and my dad realizes we could get Lyme Disease and so I am freaking out because I looked it up my dad already got bit he has the tick in a bottle so we can get it tested if any symtoms show. I don't know if the deer is a boy or a girl yet but I have been calling he/she Babe.

OMG.....she is soooo sweet.

Found this info online...its worth a try:

"When I first heard of the following method for removing a tick that has already attached itself I couldn't believe it either. However, every time I've tried it - on dogs and humans - it has worked.



Put some liquid soap on a cotton ball. I've used both kitchen dish soap and all-natural liquid hand soap, and they've both performed just fine. I've also used cotton swabs when I couldn't find any cotton balls.



Place the cotton ball on the tick, soap side down, and let it sit there for 20 seconds or so.



When you lift the cotton ball, the tick should be attached to it. If not, add a bit more soap to the ball and put it back over the tick for another 20-30 seconds."
 
We are in deer country here in PA. I agree, it's cute, but I'm sure the mother is looking for it. They do leave the little ones alone for an hour or more and then come back to them. I would take it back to where you found it. When your father approached it, it started screaming for the mother. It's a just giving out call signals. Mom was probably on her way back to the fawn when your father drove off with it.
 
Well I know the mothers hide the babies during the day and feed them at night right? I don't see why this one was is in the middle of the road where any car could hit it and my dad just saw a bobcat just the other day my dog almost attacked it.

Exactly what I was thinking - the mother would not be far away - put it back there but off the road. Much the best thing to do - this is a wild animal and should stay that way.
 
Id go back and look around and see if you see any dead dear , if its on the road its mom could have been hit , normally when dear hide there babies the babies DO NOT MOVE its thousands and thousands of years of insticnt to hold still till mom comes back , something probly would have happend to make it be in the road so dropping it back in the road wont help anything
 
Can you call your local wildlife people and ask them for help? Cute baby though!
