Dr Karina has done it again.

Recently, our skilled team performed a life-changing pacemaker procedure for little JellyBean, a small dog with a big heart! Thanks to the expert hands of Dr. Karina Graham, JellyBean is now back to living life with a steady beat and wagging tail.
We’re so proud of our team for making these heartwarming transformations possible every day. Watch the video on our YouTube channel https://youtu.be/_jtd7NMKbko?si=3NxLFm2ygKa-3J0r or click on the link in our Profile 🙏

Does your dog suffer from Mitral Valve Disease? ❤️

We are extremely excited to announce our search for patients to undergo a groundbreaking TEER procedure at VSOS.
Transapical edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat severe mitral regurgitation caused by degenerative mitral valve disease. In humans, the TEER procedure, known as MitraClip procedure, has been performed over 100,000 times worldwide as an alternative to surgery.
In dogs, TEER is done through a small chest incision under general anaesthesia and places a device called the V-Clamp guided by fluoroscopy and transesophageal echocardiography. Patients typically walk the next day and leave the hospital within two days. The reduction in mitral regurgitation severity ranges from 25% to 90%, with better outcomes seen in early-stage cases.

There is a concern that more photos of Merle Cavaliers are appearing on social media - although people may think they look appealing, this is not a recognised Cavalier colour for good reason:
it is a dangerous and controversial breeding, especially when our beloved breed has so many health problems already.
The merle gene is known to cause several health problems, mostly deafness and blindness, and also sun sensitivity and higher rates of skin cancer. Merle dogs can also exhibit varied severe eye defects https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/418699/
This article is about Cocker spaniels but the points raised in it are exactly the same for Cavaliers.

This is a fascinating site about coat colour genetics and markings, http://www.doggenetics.co.uk/merle.html

Merle is a fascinating and varied coat pattern, and there is no doubt that many of the merles shown further down this page are beautiful, unusual and exotic. However, the pictures and information are provided entirely for educational purposes and I do not in any way condone the breeding of dogs deli...

We’re excited for this beautiful pairing!
Our gorgeous Black and tan carrying chocolate girl Jedda who is DNA clear 🧬
Is being paired to the handsome Rufus a beautiful Chocolate and tan stud 💪🏼

From this pairing we’re looking at increasing the snout slightly, with possibilities of DNA clear visual chocolates 🍫
We don’t focus on DNA clear in Cavs as there as a lot of other health issues such as Heart disease (MMVD) that we are striving to reduce.
So both parents have been Checked and Cleared by a specialist in August 2023 at the yearly heart Clinic 🩺
If all goes to plan and the breeding takes we will be expecting Chocolate and Tans, Chocolate Tris, Tri and Black and Tans.
No visual E Locus/ Ruby puppies from this litter.

We are so lucky to have the ongoing support of our local specialists. Thank You very much VSOS for all your hard work.

At VSOS we hold annual heart clinics for our beautiful Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. 🤍

This forever tail-wagging, loving and gentle breed are sadly renowned for their heart condition (but not limited to) mitral valve disease.

We hold these heart clinics to help owners and breeders rule the condition in or out.
This can be done via auscultation (listening to their heart with a stethoscope) and if required, measured and monitor using echocardiograms (ultrasounds of the heart).

Thank you to breeders Cavalierlove, Cleopatras Pack, Kokoleka Cavaliers for coming along!
