if you could tell your UF Veterinary HERO one thing, what would it be?
World Veterinary Day is a globally observed holiday to highlight and promote the lifesaving work performed by veterinary professionals around the world.
For physicians Monisha Seth and Anthony Douglas, World Veterinary Day provides them with another opportunity to express their sincere gratitude for the amazing work performed by the Cardiology, Oncology and Surgical teams at the Small Animal Hospital at The UF College of Veterinary Medicine.
They first came to UF Small Animal Hospital about ten years ago with Franklin, their beloved English foxhound, who suffered from heart failure due to a defective mitral valve. UF’s team of veterinary cardiologists provided them with compassionate, clinically excellent care; and gave Franklin an excellent quality of life.
In 2015, shortly after rescuing a pup named Winston, they returned because he was diagnosed with heartworms and an enlarged heart. Winston still visits regularly with our cardio team for monitoring of his condition.
Fast forward to 2020, when their 9-year old, Lincoln, was diagnosed with a tumor that caused his lungs to fill with fluid. The timing coincided with the college’s installation of a new Edge LINAC- a machine so accurate that radiation could be administered precisely to the tumor without damaging surrounding tissue. Lincoln was the first patient to undergo treatment with the new radiation machine. Drs. Seth and Douglas are happy to report that Lincoln is back to wagging his tail, giving hugs, snoozing on his favorite chaise lounge, and counter-surfing for treats.
