Mo
Ellenton, FL
Featured Case
Mo came to us feeling unwell. She was vomiting up water at first and then bile.
The team examined Mo and then ran bloodwork and took x-rays. She was diagnosed with Gastroenteritis – a condition where the dog’s stomach and intestines are inflamed. It can be caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, parasites, medications, or even new foods. The doctor gave Mo some fluids and medicine to help stop her vomiting.
We checked in with Mo’s pet parents in the days after her visit and they advised she was back to her adorable, playful self.
Ms. Calliope
Bradenton, FL
Featured Case
This beautiful cat is Ms. Calliope. She came into the clinic not feeling well.
The doctor diagnosed her with an upper respiratory infection.
We sent her home with an antibiotic, medication to help with nausea, orders for gentle snuggles and a request to follow-up with her general practice veterinarian.
At Your Service
T’Challa
Clinic Cat
T’Challa, also known as Lala, joined the UrgentVet Lakewood Ranch team in November 2021. Starting out as the team’s supervisor, T’Challa quickly climbed the cat tower ladder being promoted to Food Inventory Manager.
In spite of being a tri-pod cat, T’Challa is quick on his 3 feet and ready to run the show. He is here to make sure all his furry friends feel welcomed and comfortable while visiting us!
