deuterated solvents

Are deuterated solvents always Zeotropic with their protic counterparts?

Assuming that isotopic compounds have different physical properties, such as vapor pressure, boiling point and molecular mass, the answer is no. On the other hand, deuterated solvents have so close vapor pressure, boiling point and molecular mass with their protic counterparts that they cannot easily form azeotropes with them.
