There is a fawn who’s mom was killed on Maxtown Road Friday (we think). He’s very hungry, dehydrated, and crying for his mom. We’re taking him to the Wildlife Animal Hospital now. According to Ohio law, they cannot keep him, but they can rehydrate him and patch up the scrape on his cheek (probably from when his mom was hit. They told me that they are permitted to introduce him to a lactating doe, since they’ve had some success with that, particularly if the doe has only one fawn. However, his time is ticking. He has 72 hours from the time he is admitted for this to be accomplished before they have to put him down. It’s now 1:20.

If you know of a lactating fawn in your area, please call them at (614) 407-7830. Be sure to tell them this is about a fawn who was admitted this afternoon. If it’s private property, they will need the name, address, and phone number of the property owner for permission.

I know white tail deer can be a nuisance, but I just couldn’t let this infant die slowly and painfully.

I also know this is a long shot, but if you can help, and are willing, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks

We can’t get so discouraged or complacent that we give up. We must keep working toward the goal of restoring our country to sanity, integrity, justice, and hope for the people of this nation. That means we all need to be actively involved in helping people with those essential values and courage to stand up for what is right to be elected this coming November, even if it’s just in small ways. Each and every effort counts.
