Bradley is one of our current patients at the center. He was found rolling in the surf by a beachgoer on South Beach in Crescent City. He was dehydrated, lethargic and was suffering from Leptospirosis upon intake. After lots of fluids, healthy meals and antibiotics, he is doing well! We are hopeful that he will make a full recovery and can return home to the big blue in a few weeks!!
