My dog Tilly who was 10 months old started to show unusual signs of not eating, walking slow. Tilly’s usually a playful puppy.  I thought she was just a tired, however a few hours later both of her legs went and she was unable to walk. I called SASH and they asked to bring her…

We rescued our darling Rosie while living in Hong Kong, and repatriated with her, her two sisters, and her brother. Like all street dogs in Hong Kong, she is a very mixed breed, but all the better for it, we think. We presented Rosie to the emergency department at SASH in February after a couple…

Harvey Hi, my name is Harvey. I am a 9 year old “black beagle”, but really I am part beagle, Labrador and cocker spaniel. My SASH story begins in May 2022, when I was 7 years old. One day, I started not feeling so great. I was really thirsty all the time and because I…

Trufa’s story started on January 13th of 2022.  A few months prior we accidentally found she had hydrocephalus, but was completely asymptomatic until then… That night at 4 am Trufa woke us up, drooling. She looked at us as if something was really wrong… We rushed to SASH emergency department, not knowing what was happening.…

Jett’s story started with a lump on his nose. Got it tested to find out what it was, and found it was a mast cell tumor. Which is common in Labradors. I was devastated when I found out. So went to Sash and straight away they where there to help out. They gave as what…

Isabella has been a regular at SASH Adelaide over the last four months. She had seizures in October and Dr Dillon did an MRI and found she has a brain tumor. She has been on medication since and is living her best life. She still loves going to the beach and playing with her toys.…

From the day we bought captain Pete “Maverick” Mitchell home it was obvious that something wasn’t right. After eating he would stick his tongue out, drool excessively and experience moments where he was unable to move, staring off into the distance, unresponsive. It took just over a month of misdiagnosis and a change in vets…
