prepare for Kahlua’s release from the Veterinary Hospital
March 21 after surgery to remove a melon-size obstruction in
his intestines. Kahlua, who has diabetes and inflammatory bowel
disease, gained fame when a TV news program reported that an
11-year-old Mantua, N.J., girl, Erika Collins, heard about Kahlua’s
case and raised money at her school to help pay for his medical
costs. A grateful Rey had only words of praise for the Penn
team. “It was such a great experience,” he said.
