Three Vets Said No. SASH Said Yes – and Saved Maggie’s Life

When Maggie started coughing and vomiting, we were turned away from three clinics because of a kennel cough outbreak. I was terrified. I put her in the car and called SASH Adelaide on the way. From the very first moment, they were calm, kind, and told us to come straight in.

When we arrived, the nurse met us in full protective gear – like a scene from COVID days. They triaged Maggie in the car and raced her inside, straight onto oxygen. That night, the calls came in one after another:
– A stomach blockage
– Suspected necrotic intestines
– Pneumonia
– Oxygen levels in the low 80s

She was crashing.

The ICU team worked around the clock, fighting for her life. Two days later, Maggie walked out ready to come home. We truly thought we were going to lose her – but SASH gave us a miracle.

They didn’t just treat her. They fought for her. They saved her – SASH sets the gold standard for care, compassion and expertise.
