Tricks, treats and… tummy troubles? 🎃

Halloween is a lot of fun, but some treats aren’t safe for pets. Please keep the lolly bowl and trick-or-treat haul well out of reach of your furry friends.

🍫 Chocolate contains theobromine, which is toxic to dogs and cats. Dark and cooking chocolate are the most dangerous.
🍬 Lollies and gum may contain xylitol, which can be very dangerous for dogs, even in small amounts.
🍭 Wrappers and lolly sticks can cause choking or blockages in the gut.

If you think your pet has eaten something they shouldn’t, don’t wait for signs to appear. Call your local vet or contact our Emergency team straight away.

Our Emergency Department is open 24/7.

Meet Kingston, who was born with a liver shunt, meaning an abnormal blood vessel is allowing blood to bypass his liver.

Today, Dr Karina Graham and Dr Mihir (a human interventional radiologist) are working together to close off the abnormal blood flow through this vessel, giving Kingston’s liver the opportunity to grow and function more normally.

Using a minimally invasive, image-guided procedure, our team deploys a stent through a catheter before placing a series of coils to gradually block the abnormal blood flow.

Rather than traditional open surgery, Interventional Radiology allows our specialists to access and treat certain conditions through small catheter access points, helping to minimise surgical trauma and support recovery.

Kingston’s procedure is a great example of how advanced, minimally invasive techniques can offer new options for our patients.

Does your patient have a condition that may benefit from Interventional Radiology? Our team is here to help.

💍 When your dog decides to take “something borrowed” a little too literally...

This little one came into our Emergency & Critical Care team after swallowing his mum’s engagement ring.

Thankfully, Thunder was referred to VSOS by ARH Wollongong, where our team was able to investigate further and safely retrieve the ring using endoscopy.

The radiographs tell the story pretty well… and yes, that really is an engagement ring sitting in his stomach.

Most importantly, he made it through safely and the engagement ring was recovered.

If your pet has swallowed something they shouldn’t have, don’t wait and see. Our Emergency & Critical Care team is available 24/7, 365 days a year to provide urgent care when you need it most.

📞 For emergencies, call VSOS on (02) 8376 8767.

Meet The Speaker

When a patient arrests, there’s no time to stop and think. What happens in those first few minutes depends on how prepared your team is before that moment ever comes.

Meet Dr James Cooper, Specialist in Emergency and Critical Care at VSOS, and one of our speakers at Beyond Possible this November.

In his session, CPR & RECOVER: Be Ready When Every Second Counts, James will take you through a practical, evidence-based approach to veterinary CPR using the RECOVER guidelines.

You’ll walk away with:
✔️ A clear understanding of what the RECOVER guidelines recommend, and why they matter in practice
✔️ Ways to prepare your clinic and team before an arrest happens
✔️ Practical tips for calm, coordinated, high-quality CPR

James works on the front line of emergency and critical care every day, and he brings that real-world experience straight to the room, so you can take it back to your clinic the very next day.

What is included?
-Specialist physical examination
-Comprehensive echocardiogram
-Detailed report sent to your regular vet
-Recommendations for any next steps, if needed
A discounted specialist assessment for young patients, where early answers can make all the difference
