- Deer Affected by Disease
- ------------------------
-
- Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) officials
say they have found more deer dead from adenovirus hemorrhagic disease
than in the past.
-
- ODFW spokesman Steven George says once a deer is exposed,
there is nothing that can save it. "What they're dying from is a disease
called adenovirus hemorrhagic disease. It's a disease specific to just
deer. Pets, livestock do not get it, it kills most of the animals that
are exposed to it. We had a major outbreak about 6-7 years ago at Crooked
River Ranch."
-
- George says they encourage you not to feed the deer because
the disease is passed to deer through nose to nose and saliva contact and
so it will wipe out a congregating herd. He says a couple of months ago,
they were finding about one to 2 dead deer every day in the Cove Palisades
Park and Crooked River Ranch area, but the numbers are going down now.
