July is here, our new junior veterinary students now have almost two months of clinics under their belts, and lots is always happening — even in the “quieter” months of summer. Here are a few photos capturing some of our recent activities.
Dr. Jim Wellehan of the zoological medicine service is shown with a young brown pelican that was brought to the UF Small Animal Hospital from Cedar Key. The animal had a fish hook in its stomach that was removed endoscopically.
After the flooding from Tropical Storm Debby hit New River, which separates Bradford and Union counties, veterinary technician Lisa Holtzendorf rescued a tiny stranded kitten and brought it to the UF Small Animal Hospital for a check-up. The animal wound up receiving a new home with Dr. Michelle Giuffrida, our veterinary oncology fellow. Shown in the oncology treatment area are Dr. Giuffrida, Lisa and the very lucky kitten!
