Many thanks to Dr Sylvia for her care and compassion when Simba visited last week. I’m very grateful VOP were able to assist us when we weren’t able to get an ultrasound done locally. It gave him a couple of quiet and comfortable days with us at home until it was time to say goodbye, which was such a gift. Although it wasn’t the outcome we hoped for, I’m so appreciative of the care Simba received in what would become one of his final days 💖
