🐾 Advanced Cancer Treatment Success at LeadER – Meet Bear!

Bear, a sweet senior pup from the Florida Keys, came to us with a grade II mast cell tumor on his muzzle that could not be completely removed surgically.

In collaboration with Dr. Impellizeri from VOS in New York City, Bear underwent targeted electrochemotherapy at our Boca Raton location—an advanced treatment designed to help fight cancer more precisely.

Electrochemotherapy uses brief electrical pulses to help low-dose chemotherapy enter cancer cells more effectively, allowing us to target remaining tumor cells while minimizing side effects.

✨ The procedure was performed as an outpatient, and Bear went home the same day doing great with minimal side effects.

We’re proud to bring innovative cancer treatment options like this to our patients and look forward to helping more pets like Bear.

🐶 Way to go, Bear!

⚠️ South Florida Pet Owners — It’s Bufo Toad Season.

During our rainy months, Cane (Bufo) Toads become very active at night. These toads release a powerful toxin that can be deadly to dogs if they lick or mouth them.

Symptoms can appear within minutes.

🚨 Watch for:
• Foaming or drooling
• Bright red gums
• Pawing at the mouth
• Vomiting
• Seizures or disorientation

🐕 If your dog gets a Bufo toad:
1️⃣ Immediately rinse the mouth with a hose for 10–15 minutes (flush from the side of the mouth).
2️⃣ Wipe the gums with a wet cloth.
3️⃣ Go to an emergency veterinarian immediately.

These encounters happen most often:
☔ After rain
🌙 At night
🌴 In yards, near lights, or around pet food bowls

Your quick action can save your dog’s life.

Did you know dialysis can SAVE a dog or cat’s life? 💙🐶🐱

When kidneys suddenly fail—whether from toxins, illness, or severe disease—time is everything.

💡 Dialysis acts like an artificial kidney, helping to:
✨ Remove dangerous toxins
✨ Balance fluids & electrolytes
✨ Support your pet while their body fights to recover

👩‍⚕️ At LeadER Animal Specialty Hospital – Boca Raton, advanced dialysis is performed by Dr. Simona Buoncompagni, board-certified in Internal Medicine with specialized training in dialysis and kidney care.

🚨 Dialysis may be needed for:
• Acute kidney failure
• Toxic ingestions (antifreeze, meds, grapes/raisins)
• Severe illness or electrolyte imbalances

⚠️ If your pet is vomiting, lethargic, or may have ingested something toxic—don’t wait.
