Sweet feed can cause acidosis, but lactic acidosis is something entirely different. If a deer were to suddenly eat large amounts of sweet feed, that’s where acidosis could occur. It’s not likely to happen with wild deer unless they’re starving, but in theory it could.
Edit: I read the post in the link to the GA forum, and that individual poster is incorrect about what can happen and why it could happen.
