Everyone say hello to Shrimp! Shrimp was found on the roads of Orlando after Hurricane Helene. Shrimp was brought into Parkway Veterinary Emergency Clinic for an exam. During his physical exam, Shrimp displayed signs of head trauma. Shrimp was hospitalized overnight and started to show signs of improvement, but seemed lonely during his sleepover. Thankfully, this baby duck toy kept him company while he continued to recover and he was able to go home in less than 24 hours. Don't worry, Shrimp was able to take his duck toy with him so he wasn't lonely on his car ride home!
