Toast
Carytown, VA
Featured Case
This handsome boy’s name is Toast! He visited UrgentVet – Carytown due to his owner finding worms in his stool. After a Doctor examination and a fecal analysis, it was determined that Toast had tapeworms.
Toast was prescribed deworming medicine to take at home. We hope you feel better, Toast!
Oakley
Carytown, VA
Featured Case
This 9-month-old Golden Retriever came to UrgentVet – Carytown with an uncomfortable skin irritation in his “unmentionable” area! Oakley’s parents noticed him licking that area excessively where they evaluated his groin region and realized it was very red, moist, and inflamed.
The Doctor examined and recommended to obtain a sample of the exudate from the skin to look under the microscope, and to clip the fur and clean the area with a surgical grade skin disinfectant and antiseptic solution.
His cytology showeed some bacteria and small amount of yeast. Oakley went home with an oral antibiotic, an oral steroid, and an antiseptic/antifungal wipe to use on the affected area.
We hope you feel better, Oakley!
