My baby boy Oliver has been a patient at SASH Adelaide since early 2024. He became a patient of Dr Dillon of the Neurology department. As Oliver has Juvenile Epilepsy. He also has fear aggression and reactiveness and severe separation anxiety from me. Sadly Oliver is from a backyard breeder. To Scruffer Lovers, to his Foster Mum to me.

He currently sees three different vets. Now Dr Laura McLeay at SASH for his Epilepsy. Dr Samantha Tindal for normal doggy stuff and Dr Olivia his Behavioural Vet.

My day is regimented to making sure Oliver has his Epilepsy medication. Which for a 2 year old is quite a lot. He’s such a loving and cheeky little boy. He loves his Big Sister Bonnie with his whole heart. She actually gets up next to him to comfort him after he’s had a grand mal seizure and just stays with him to let him know that she’s there for him.

They both LOVE going to the park. Especially so they can have some slides done the slippery dip and get on the big round swing to have a swing. Sometimes there are children and adults are at the park and they get such a kick out of seeing them both slide down the slippery dip and get up on the big swing.

Sarah : Franklyn

We lost our 11-year-old toy poodle, Wynston, very suddenly in February 2024. The shock of losing him left a hole in our hearts that felt impossible to fill. While we were grieving deeply, his younger sister, Fujiko, was utterly devastated. She showed every sign of doggy grief- she became withdrawn, stopped eating, lost interest in…
