Leo
Orlando, FL
Featured Case
Leo had a swollen left eye so his quick-thinking pet parent fashioned a cone out of a cereal box and brought him in to UrgentVet – West Orlando.
The team did a flourescein test – which is a safe dye and a blue light that helps to reveal damage or foreign bodies present in the eye. The test showed a corneal ulcer. Leo was sent home with eye antibiotics, pain medications, and a plastic e-collar.
We followed up after a few days and we’re glad to report that Leo is doing much better.
Here he is arriving at the clinic with his sibling along for moral support.
