It’s fawn season in Spokane County and the Ponti Veterinary Hospital has already been visited by quite the number of the small guests. Seven fawns are currently staying at the clinic because concerned citizens have dropped them off thinking they’re alone and even abandoned.

The Otis Orchards hospital thankfully has a wildlife rehabilitator on staff to take care of the orphaned babies. Marilyn Omlor says their current residents were brought in by the public.

“They’ve either seen the doe hit by a car or they’ve seen a fawn out in the wild. We have to take the public’s word that the doe is dead because the doe can leave the fawn for up to ten hours,” Omlor said. “She might be nearby watching you pick up her fawn.”

The hospital has been taking care of the fawns and will continue to do so until September when their spots begin to fade. They know a property owner with large acreage near Deer Park who allow the fawns to be released into the wild. They trust this area because the surrounding property owners do not allow hunting.
