In December last year we ran a Facebook competition for the cutest K9 and today we picked the winner… Congratulations to the beautiful Marley! She cheekily stole her siblings dummy, what a great opportunity for a happy snap.
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. The pathology did come back as an osteosarcoma as we had suspected all along. Now this is very important: Roxy’s bone cancer may well come back, within […]
As our clients know, for the past six years we have operated out of our Park Road Cheltenham premises – which has served us extremely well. However since then we have progressed from a one vet and two nurse start up practice, to five vets and eight nurses and as you could imagine, there is not […]
Roxy had a hemimandibulectomy today. That is, Dr Karin Davids removed half of her lower jaw – the left hand side which was overtaken by a suspect bone cancer. Feel free to take a look at some remarkable pictures of her surgery however please be warned, they are graphic. The most remarkable sight of all is this […]
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. This was largely because the idea of removing her whole jaw, (for what might only be a limited amount of time), seemed a little too drastic. Initially Roxy was placed on strong anti-inflammatories to see how […]
Part 1 Roxy is an 8 year old Labrador cross Kelpie who presented to our clinic recently with a swelling on her lower left Jaw. Roxy’s owner is unfortunately no stranger to cancer, and was suspicious herself on presentation; having previously had unrewarding experiences with such problems with her pets. Her cancer concerns were well founded […]
Bear is a delightful five month old Pomeranian puppy who had the misfortune of breaking both his front legs (at the same time), from a very common potential problem. He accidentally fell from only a short height – about one metre, on to a firm surface. It is unfortunately not uncommon for such a minor […]
When it comes to a cruciate rupture – one of the most common injuries your dog (and occasionally cat) will sustain, there are a few techniques that will correct this injury (of which most veterinary clinics will only offer one). At SAH, not only do we offer all the various options (including specialist options), we […]
Below are two case studies about ‘Meg’ & ‘Fred’. They both had failed DeAngelis cruciate rupture surgery procedures but are now back on track after being repaired with our new Tightrope surgery technique. Meg, a 6 year old Maltese cross (weighing 7kg’s); came to our clinic for a second opinion as she had torn her cruciate 13 weeks […]
