Deer adopted by a vet and lives indoors

[Medusa]

This is my local vet. Dr. Lee is my main vet but Dr. Butera, featured in this story, is my local vet whose office is less than 10 minutes away from me.

How cool!!! What a unique situation for a lucky doe!!! To be brought back to health and to have a safe home to live in and to be treated like a princess! Thanks for sharing. :)

Here in RI, you need a special license to keep a "wild" animal as a pet, indoors or out.

I do hope the publicity doesn't get him in trouble!

same here in TN, I think. Although one of my vets did end up with a fawn that lost it's leg after getting mangled in a barbed wire fence. If anyone asked, he just said he had a 3 legged goat, LOL.

A lot of vets are also licensed wildlife rehabbers.

I'm thinking that's the case w/this vet. She's been doing this sort of thing for years and she has a jar in her lobby for donations b/c she rescues any type of animal. She and her husband live on a farm.
