Kimba is a 15 year old Foxhound who had become a little thinner and lethargic of recent months. All of a sudden he collapsed one day and we were called to his house for potential euthanasia. Our examination revealed a mass high up in his belly around his liver or stomach, or possibly his spleen. In […]

A few weeks after Roxy’s major surgery she has recovered remarkably! These images are of her enjoying life far greater than she did before having this cancer removed.

Roxy, our suspect mandible cancer patient – having had her initial pain killing drugs followed by a Pamisol infusion for bone pain a few days ago, re-presented to our clinic. Unfortunately she isn’t doing brilliantly, she was hanging in there but nothing spectacular. It was decided at this stage to have another discussion regarding the […]
Roxy, our suspect mandibular cancer patient and her owner, re-visited SAH for discussions around having decided to go with palliative care.

Her cancer concerns were well founded […]
