Last September, Cooper (cairn terrier) on the eve of his 11th birthday, developed a sudden paralysis in all 4 legs and a completely morphed voice.

Our vet sent us to SASH Adelaide in Kent Town for a CT Scan, when we were fortunate to be seen by Neurologist Dr Laura McLeay, who instantly diagnosed Cooper with Coonhound Paralysis.
She then linked us up with Physio Johanna Higgs and the beginning of a 3 month saga to full health and healing began.

We are beyond grateful for the healthful intervention and support we received from SASH SA Kent Town.

This was Cooper’s first physio session, we’re pleased to report he is once chasing possums and back to his cheeky vibrant self.
Thank you
– Adelaide SA
