Look what I brought home from work!

I was working today, and a guy came into the store, saying he had a fawn in his backseat where the mother had been struck by a car and killed. Said she came right to him, so he grabbed her to get her out of the road before she got hit. He didn't know how to take care of her or what to do with her so I said I'd take her since I've raised baby wildlife animals before. So I'm currently teaching her to drink from a bottle, goats milk, going to pick up some formula replacement in the morning, but the feed store was closed when I got off work, so I had to get some canned goats milk from the store. I did get her to lick some from the bottle tonight a couple of times, and drink some water from a bowl. As long as she eats and stays healthy I'm going to keep her on my farm since we have 200 acres and closest road or neighbor is 1 mile away, so she should be safe. Spoiled thing though, she follows me everywhere and demands to be on the bed if I'm on the bed using my computer, and I haven't really had much contact with her, but she was kind of scared when I first got her, so I guess she just took to me as her protector automatically or something, but her name is Lizzy. If I can't keep her healthy I guess I'll find a place that can take care of her like a sanctuary or something.
