Rappahannock County will soon hafje a full-time veterinarian and she’s a lady. Fayette Witherell will formally open her practice at Fern Springs Animal Hospital in Castleton during the second week in April at the former offices of retiring Dr. William Wake.
While she plans to treat both large and small animals, Dr. Witherell hopes to concentrate on horses. “I came to Virginia to get to horses,” she said, adding that she had foxhunted, evented and taken part in endurance rides for most of her life.
Fay Witherell entered veterinary school later in life than most prospective animal doctors. She was 32 years old when she was accepted at the University of Montreal, an institution that generally enrolls only one or two applicants out of 50 to 100 a year from the United States. “I first thought of being a vet when I was in high school in the ‘50s but I was quickly squelched.” Instead, she spent four years in Europe, doing competitive water and snow skiing before coming back to the States to teach elementary school in New England.
