Daisy’s 1st Cancer Treatment

Daisy’s 1st Treatment
Friday, 16 January 2015
Dr. Michael Porter (PHD Veterinary Services) is working with Dr. Brendan Mangan to treat Daisy’s tumors. Dr. Mangan is a board certified ophthalmologist with extensive experience treating such cases! He was the lead surgeon/vet for Cookie’s case when she had surgery at the University of Florida (UF) last year. She had been referred to him by Dr. Porter. Cookie’s surgery was a success but, in order to remove the cancer and save her eye, surgeons had to remove her lower eyelid and do quite a bit of reconstruction by using skin from her cheek. It was pretty amazing!Dr. Porter received his D.V.M. and Ph.D. degrees from the UF veterinary college in 1998 and 2001, respectively. While at UF he also completed a residency in large animal medicine. In 2004, Dr. Porter developed the UF Mobile Equine Diagnostics Service (MEDS) which provided referral level veterinary services to horse owners and referring veterinarians throughout the Southeast. Dr. Porter continues to provide top-of-the-line services to clients via his own mobile practice, PHD Veterinary Services. Dr. Porter has been part of our care team for many years.
We will be providing updates on Daisy throughout her treatment/recovery process. She’s a tough little girl that adores humans and appreciates everything we do for her. She makes us smile. Please keep Daisy in your prayers.
