I believe I remember reading about this here before but don't remember. Her tongue is hanging out.

EHD causes tongue swelling, but that looks odd.
@Deer Assassin has a euro of a doe that had that issue
I remember those pictures! Glad when he finally shot that doe and wrapped up the story!
Fever from serious EHD infection will cause that. EHD is a very plausible theory this summer. Jaw injury could be the cause as well. What county?
Ole floppy tongue
She was healthy but imo hit by car
That deer looks sick
I'd like to see better pics

Montgomery county. Definitely her tongue and definitely a doe. She had a fawn with her.

I've seen pictures of bucks who had torn their tongue muscles and their tongues hung out constantly, but that doe's tongue looks really swollen.
Could she have possibly gotten a mouth full of yellow jackets, or super unlucky and got snake bit on her tongue ? She looks healthy otherwise ..
poor thing. That cant be pleasant. I think a mercy killing would be her best outcome. I think TWRA wouldnt object considering your documentation of the situation.

Well, the fawn she's supporting complicates that MO.

Hate seeing that. She looks thin, probably due to the inability to eat.
Those pictures were taken from my mower as I was mowing. She was laying in the neighbors yard. I videoed her for a few minutes. She didn't get up until I started to move again. She was slow to stand. Poor girl. I thought for a while that it was some type of rodent in her mouth but when she stood up I could clearly see it was her tongue and also had slobber dripping off of it.
I'm guessing she has major trouble eating and drinking which compromises her health more by a nursing fawn. Poor thing!

Good chance of EHD I seen one standing in a creek some years ago. Not sure if the tongue was as bad as that one in the pic. But who knows what's really happening
