Whatever it is, it doesn’t look good

Sad part is she has a little fawn to tend to. Otherwise, I would put her out of her misery.
 
Those appear to be “deer warts”. They’re benign skin tumours caused by a papillomavirus uniquely affecting deer, and often seen in white-tails and other deer species. The lesions often appear in clusters around the eyes, neck, face and forelegs but are generally harmless unless they grow large enough to interfere with vision, feeding or locomotion.

Thank you.. I appreciate the info. That one on her leg is crippling to her. It is huge!
