Comprehensive In-House Orthopaedic Care
Our ability to provide advanced orthopaedic surgeries outside of a specialist setting sets us apart from many other vets, who rely on expensive referral for access to this service. This means your pet gets the care from the vet you know and trust and we can see you through from diagnosis to surgery, aftercare and beyond. We know this consistency of care is key to a successful outcome.
Advanced Surgical Facilities
Our modern surgical suite enables us to perform a wide range of orthopaedic surgeries safely. Our skilled veterinary nurses ensure expert anaesthetic monitoring and are highly trained to alert our vets to any ....... We also provide comprehensive pain relief and a one-on-one dedicated nurse during recovery for a smooth post-operative experience.
Access to Specialist Care When Needed
While we pride ourselves on being able to handle most orthopaedic cases in-house, there are times when more complex procedures may require the expertise of a specialist. In these instances, we collaborate closely with visiting specialist surgeons who can perform advanced surgeries on-site. This means your pet doesn’t have to be transported far from home and can continue to receive the care they need within the familiar surroundings of our practice. Your pet’s comfort and continuity of care are our top priorities.
What to Expect from Orthopaedic Surgery
We know that understanding the recovery process is important for pet owners. Most clients want to know how long it will take for their pet to return to normal activity, what the post-operative care involves and what they can do to help their pet recover more comfortably at home. We provide thorough guidance on post-surgical care, including any restrictions on movement, medication schedules and tips for helping your pet regain strength.
Preparing Your Pet for Surgery
In preparation for surgery, we'll guide you on what to do beforehand— how to fast your pet, how to manage any existing medications and what to bring on the day of surgery. We’re here to ensure both you and your pet feel as comfortable as possible throughout the process, from consultation to post-operative care.
