Leisa has dedicated over 25 years to the veterinary industry, initially working as a veterinary nurse before taking a break from nursing and transitioning into a role at the VSOS reception, where she has been for over 3 years. Leisa is passionate about still being involved in the animal care field, especially during the emotional times when she can support clients. She loves being front of house and working with a fantastic team, and she feels incredibly proud to be part of the VSOS family.

At home, Leisa is a proud pet parent to two French Bulldogs, Frankie and Evie, as well as three cats: George, Maggie, and 18-year-old Billy. In her free time, she enjoys spending quality moments with her husband, Scott, and staying active by doing CrossFit at the gym every day with her sons, Rhys and Jordan.

Ever wondered why we often seek blood donors for our patients? Here’s how your pet’s blood donation can make a life-saving difference:
1. Trauma Cases: Accidents can lead to significant blood loss. Donated blood helps stabilise these patients, giving them a fighting chance.
2. Surgical Procedures: Complex surgeries may require blood transfusions to ensure patient safety and recovery.
3. Anemia Treatment: Conditions like immune-mediated hemolytic anemia cause a severe drop in red blood cells. Transfusions replenish these cells, restoring health.
4. Clotting Disorders: Some pets suffer from diseases that affect blood clotting. Plasma from donated blood provides essential clotting factors to manage these conditions.
5. Toxin Exposure: Ingesting certain toxins can damage blood cells or clotting mechanisms. Transfusions are crucial in these emergencies to replace affected components.
By having a ready supply of donated blood, we’re equipped to handle these emergencies and more, ensuring that pets receive the critical care they need when every second counts.
If you’re interested in learning more about how your pet can become a blood donor and help save lives, please contact us

🎉🐾 Happy Chinese New Year from VSOS! 🐾🎉
As we slither into the Year of the Snake 🐍, we’re sending warm wishes to you, your family, and your beloved pets for a year filled with health, wisdom, and transformation—qualities the snake symbolizes in Chinese culture.
✨ Did you know? The snake is also a symbol of healing and rejuvenation, making it a fitting reminder of the incredible strength and resilience we see in pets every day. 🐶🐱🐾
To celebrate, here are a few tips to keep your pets safe during the festivities:
✅ Keep pets indoors during fireworks to reduce anxiety.
✅ Ensure traditional foods and decorations (like red envelopes or citrus fruits) are out of reach—some can be harmful to our furry friends.
✅ Create a quiet, cozy space for your pet to retreat if the celebrations get too loud.
Let’s start this Year of the Snake with love, care, and kindness for our pets who bring us so much joy. ❤️
🐾 Gong Xi Fa Cai! 恭喜发财! Wishing you a happy and prosperous New Year!

🧠 Friday Fact: What’s the Difference Between a CT Scan and an MRI for Pets? 🐶🐱

When advanced imaging is needed, CT scans and MRIs help us diagnose complex conditions—but they work in very different ways!

🔬 CT Scan (Computed Tomography)

✅ Uses X-rays to create detailed, cross-sectional images
✅ Ideal for bone fractures, lung disease, nasal conditions, cancer staging, and trauma cases
✅ Fast scan time—often done in a few minutes under anesthesia

🧠 MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging)

✅ Uses powerful magnetic field and radio waves
✅ Ideal for brain and spinal conditions, nerve damage, ligament injuries, and soft tissue tumors
✅ More detailed for neurological and musculoskeletal issues but takes longer (30-90 minutes)

💡 Which One Does My Pet Need?
It depends on the case! CT is usually preferred for bones, lungs, and trauma, while MRI is the gold standard for brain and spinal issues. At VSOS, our specialists use the latest imaging technology to ensure the right scan for the right diagnosis. 🩺🐾

An update on this beautiful girl (Mia) who came into our care last night - she has been reviewed and given a clean bill of health by our Vets 🙌🏼 She’s had a sleepover with us and is microchipped but we are having trouble getting in touch with her registered owners. She will be transported to the Sutherland Shire Shelter - along with a handsome staffy and German shepherd stray who came into our care during the long weekend.

FYI the Sutherland Shire Shelter is the first point of call for all uninjured strays 🙏🐾

Atlantoaxial Subluxation: A Hidden Danger in Small Dogs Atlantoaxial subluxation (AA luxation) is a serious spinal condition that primarily affects toy and small-breed dogs, such as Chihuahuas and Pomeranians. It occurs when instability between the first (atlas) and second (axis) cervical vertebrae leads to spinal cord compression, potentially causing neck pain, weakness, or even paralysis. Early diagnosis is crucial! Signs can range from mild discomfort to sudden neurological decline. Advanced imaging and specialist care are key to determining the best treatment—whether conservative management or surgical stabilisation. At VSOS, our team is equipped to handle complex spinal conditions like AA luxation. If you suspect you pet may be affected, early detection can make all the difference. #VeterinaryNeurology #VSOS #AALuxation #specialistcare

🔥 Hot Footpaths = Burnt Paws! 🔥 Dr. Michelle reminds us to always check the temperature of the footpath before taking your pet for a walk. If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for their paws! 🐾 Walking on hot surfaces can cause serious burns to your dog’s feet, leading to: • Painful blisters • Cracked or peeling paw pads • Long recovery times • Risk of infection How to protect your pet: • Walk early in the morning or late in the evening when surfaces are cooler • Stick to grass or shaded paths • Consider paw wax or protective boots Remember, their paws are sensitive—let’s keep them safe and comfortable this summer! 🌞 If you suspect your pet has burned paws, visit your local vet or call VSOS for advice.
