Patient Updates
Carioca is gaining weight and will soon be ready for release! He just needs to be a little bigger first!
We caught up with Carioca just before lunch... he's looking good, though a bit skinny. But he will hopefully start to gain weight soon.
Hi Carioca- Sounds like an interesting name and one I’ve never heard of. Sending you all the love, healthy thoughts and prayers. Stay strong so you get feel better and get well soon okay?
Hi Carioca- Came to check on you and saw your cute video. Looks like the wonderful staff at MMRC are taking great care of you and giving you lots of TLC. Looks like you are doing well so keep up the good work. Please drink lots of milk so you can grow bigger and stronger every day. Take care my sweet seal friend.
