German Shepherd Rescue Victoria (GSRV), a wonderful welfare organisation that takes care of unwell and unwanted German Shepherds sought our advice recently for Pippi. Have a look at her with her big cumbersome bandages on her front legs! Pippi was an unwanted pet store pup that was struggling to walk. The original vet clinic had […]
Diesel presented to our clinic (supposedly with hip dysplasia), having recently been lame on both legs. Unfortunately, the diagnosis was incorrect as Diesel had bilateral ruptured cruciates. Being one of the very few clinics who are experienced in repairing bilateral cruciates and luxating patellas at the same time, we recommended to Diesels owner to consider this. We had previously […]
Holly is a 13 year old Labrador who came to us after another veterinary clinic had not found the problem to her breathing concerns. Holly’s human mum called us to discuss her situation as the previous three months work up had not come to a diagnosis at the other vet clinic. Holly had become exercise intolerant, with increased respiratory noises […]
Harvey is a remarkable 14 year old three legged cat who came to us with blindness one day. He was diagnosed with detached retinas which can occur secondary to high blood pressure (which Harvey had). High blood pressure can either be a result of renal failure, or indeed cause renal failure. Once blind with detached […]
Harry is an 11 year old Golden Retriever who was being treated with rest and pain killers for arthritis, because he had recently been limping on his left back leg, slowing down a lot of recent times, and breathing with some effort when he was on his walks.

Nearly 14 years old, Mack is a male Red Heeler x Staffie who presented to our clinic for a large eyeball mass growing from the orbit of his right eye. His owner was seeking a second opinion as he had been advised that without a specialist referral for CT scans and specialist surgery, there was […]
A few weeks after Roxy’s major surgery she has recovered remarkably! These images are of her enjoying life far greater than she did before having this cancer removed. The pathology did come back as an osteosarcoma as we had suspected all along. Now this is very important: Roxy’s bone cancer may well come back, within […]
Roxy had a hemimandibulectomy today. That is, Dr Karin Davids removed half of her lower jaw – the left hand side which was overtaken by a suspect bone cancer. Feel free to take a look at some remarkable pictures of her surgery however please be warned, they are graphic. The most remarkable sight of all is this […]
Roxy, our suspect mandible cancer patient – having had her initial pain killing drugs followed by a Pamisol infusion for bone pain a few days ago, re-presented to our clinic. Unfortunately she isn’t doing brilliantly, she was hanging in there but nothing spectacular. It was decided at this stage to have another discussion regarding the […]
Roxy, our suspect mandibular cancer patient and her owner, re-visited SAH for discussions around having decided to go with palliative care. This was largely because the idea of removing her whole jaw, (for what might only be a limited amount of time), seemed a little too drastic. Initially Roxy was placed on strong anti-inflammatories to see how […]
