Nine months ago, we were told to take our dog, Walker, home and enjoy our last week with him.
It all started with diarrhea, soft stools, and gradual weight loss. At first, our local veterinarian thought he had low protein. Then he was treated with antibiotics. By the time Walker was finally diagnosed with pythiosis in his GI tract, we were told his case was terminal and that there was nothing more that could be done.
We were absolutely devastated.
Then our neighbor did some research and came across the incredible work of Dr. Justin Walton at the University of Florida College of Veterinary Medicine. That research changed everything.
Dr. Walton and the entire UF Veterinary team gave us something we thought we had lost—hope. Their expertise, compassion, and willingness to fight for Walker saved his life.
Today, nine months later, Walker is pythium-free, off all of his medications, healthy, happy, and back to being himself. What once felt impossible has become our reality.
There are no words to express how grateful we are to Dr. Walton and every member of the UF team. Thank you for dedicating your lives to advancing veterinary medicine, for never giving up on dogs like Walker, and for giving our family so much more time with our best friend.
If your pet has been diagnosed with pythiosis, don’t lose hope. Seek a second opinion and learn about the work being done at UF. Walker is living proof that there can be hope, even when the prognosis seems impossible.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you, Dr. Walton and the entire UF Veterinary team. You gave Walker—and our family—a second chance. ❤️🐾

九个月前,我们被告知要带我们的爱犬沃克回家,好好享受和它在一起的最后一周。
一切都始于腹泻、软便和体重逐渐下降。起初,我们当地的兽医认为它只是蛋白质摄入不足。之后,它接受了抗生素治疗。最终,沃克被确诊为肠道腐霉病,医生告诉我们,它的病情已是晚期,无力回天。
我们彻底崩溃了。
后来,我们的邻居做了一些调查,发现了佛罗里达大学兽医学院的贾斯汀·沃尔顿博士的卓越研究。这项研究改变了一切。
沃尔顿博士和整个佛罗里达大学兽医团队给了我们以为已经失去的东西——希望。他们的专业知识、同情心和为沃克竭尽全力的精神挽救了它的生命。
九个月后的今天,沃克已经摆脱了腐霉病的困扰,停止了所有药物治疗,健康快乐,恢复了往日的活力。曾经看似不可能的事情,如今已成为现实。
我们无法用言语表达对沃尔顿医生和佛罗里达大学兽医团队每一位成员的感激之情。感谢你们毕生致力于推进兽医学的发展,感谢你们从未放弃像沃克这样的狗狗,感谢你们让我们一家人与我们最好的朋友共度了更多时光。
如果您的宠物被诊断出患有腐霉病,请不要放弃希望。寻求第二诊疗意见,并了解佛罗里达大学正在进行的研究。沃克就是最好的证明,即使预后看似绝望,希望依然存在。
我们由衷地感谢沃尔顿医生和整个佛罗里达大学兽医团队。你们给了沃克——也给了我们全家——第二次生命。❤️🐾
