WSU Braces for Influx of Wildlife Patients Following Nearby Facility Closure
Washington State University's Veterinary Teaching Hospital is preparing for a significant increase in injured and orphaned wildlife this spring and summer. This rise is mainly due to the closure of the Blue Mountain Wildlife facility in Pendleton, Oregon. This center previously treated wildlife from Washington, and with its closure, many animals are now expected to be sent to WSU in Pullman.
