Our spoodle fur baby ‘Pippa’ became unwell on xmas eve, she suddenly was walking with a hunched back & her back legs were obviously weak and she was shaking.

After an initial visit with another emergency vet they referred us to SASH Gold Coast  at Robina because of their digital imaging equipment to properly diagnose her. So at 3am Xmas morning i arrived with Pippa in my arms to the welcoming staff at SASH, Dr Deanna was amazing and provided a quick diagnosis and informed us of our options from that point.

Pippa underwent emergency surgery on Christmas day to have a herniated disc repaired. She is still being cared for by the ICU team and will hopefully make a full recovery.
We will always be truly grateful to the staff at SASH Robina for their amazing work at such a difficult and stressful time.
I have attached our before and after photos.
Thankyou !!

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 She showed every sign of doggy grief- she became withdrawn, stopped eating, lost interest in…
