Colin

Registered Veterinary Technologist

Hello, I'm Colin. I graduated from the Animal Health Technologist Program at RRC in May 2008 and have been working at Centennial since. I was born and raised on my family dairy farm with my four brothers and my sister. I remember when I was about 10 years old I hand raised some abandoned baby raccoons. I work with animals because I enjoy the problem-solving aspect of veterinary medicine. I really enjoy working with the staff and patients at Centennial. Outside of work, I enjoy fishing, camping and sports. I have a 10-year-old Blue Heeler named Finette.

How to help injured and orphaned wild animals

Below are a few suggestions should you come across injured or orphaned wildlife. First, you need to determine if the wild animal is indeed injured or abandoned without putting yourself in harm’s way. Try not to have too much contact with the animal or to disturb the surroundings. If you are unsure, it is best that you leave it be and call a wildlife specialist to notify them about the animal and its location. Certain animals like rabbits and deer often leave their young alone for long periods throughout the day. If it appears healthy and well, do not disturb the animal.
