Rossford pet store's vets treat wandering, injured deer, then set it free

An injured, bleeding deer that wandered into the rear of a Rossford pet store Saturday was treated by a veterinary team there, then ran free into a rural area, police reported.

The deer was discovered at about 1:20 p.m. bleeding on the floor of PetSmart, 27161 Crossroads Pkwy.

Rossford police Officer Mark Skala, who responded to the call, assumed the animal would have to be put down.

Instead, the store's veterinary team stitched up the deer's injured leg and administered antibiotics. The deer remained calm while it was being treated, then got to its feet and fled, Officer Skala said.
