They do have a sliming disease here in the uk. Can't remember what it looks is called our if they have it in nz though.
Hope you didn't eat any.

Here you go have a read through this.
Any pics? @Munsey
Really advanced Yersiniosis?
Probably got crook after fawning I would say, I shot one a while back out of pity because she looked pretty ragged, she had what us dairy farmers would call RFM (retained fetal membrane) where she had fawned but hadnt managed to push the afterbirth out and it had stayed inside and festered, makes them real crook and usually they will die eventually.Quote:

Yes, Yersinia or Johne's likely cases.. Johne's would explain the horrific smell. Didn't notice if she had the runs down her back legs?
We don't have Chronic Wasting Disease in NZ thankfully.. would potentially destroy our deer hunting and farming.
Yes Harry. Excellent suggestion.Quote:

Would Any of these Illness / diseases cause brittle bones ?
Cheers @StrikerNZ good to know!
Think about what happens with osteoporosis in old ladies Munsey. If the deer was ill over a protracted period of time then its intake of minerals would have been adversely affected and it would have started drawing upon the reserves held in its skeletal structure. That would make the bones brittle.Quote:

Another calf started going downhill rapidly with same symptons, so farmer put it down and sent it off for an autopsy. Results came back - 'calf died from blunt force trauma to the head' :ORLY: :wtfsmilie:
I would bank on Johne's
John Deere disease? You're joking eh?
Good work Munsey, putting her out of misery. Poor old girl....
Was a good stalk too (well I thought I was awesome ):D she was in a shit of a spot to get to without getting seen . At that stage I didn't realise she was sick . Truth be told I probably could have run up and blown her over with a feather :(Quote:

Interesting thread....I have never come across a sick deer myself but have shot a couple that were clearly not going to make next winter due to poor condition/no teeth... even salami wasnt good.
The old man reconed he shot a few that had TB back in the day over Marlborough way but truth be told they could have had whatever yours had as at the time TB was the big thing (excuse to 1080) in the public eye so anything that didnt look healthy "had TB"

Nothing's changed mate...I shot a Sika which turned out to have facial eczema. But DoC field officer I described symptoms to immediately insisted it was TB.Quote:

sickly sweet smell could be associated with urine -in which case one would suspect a major kidney malfunction /shutdown which untreated is rapidly fatal.the wasting etc could as suggested previously arising from this .
i must offer you thanks for humanely euthanising a distressed animal-more than any fucking vegan would probably do!
