Orthopaedic Surgery
Getting Your Pets Back on Their Feet
A limp, a broken bone or a sore joint can really slow your pet down. Orthopaedic surgery treats problems with bones, joints and ligaments to relieve pain and restore movement. Our team handles many orthopaedic procedures on-site and works with visiting specialists for the most complex cases - so your pet can get expert care without a long trip away.
Conditions We Treat
Orthopaedic problems can come from an accident, wear and tear, or the way an animal is built.
Fractures and broken bones
Cruciate ligament injuries
Luxating patella (slipping kneecap)
Joint and cartilage problems
Arthritis management and pain relief
Lameness investigation and diagnosis
Getting to the bottom of a limp
Finding the cause is the first step. We use a careful examination and imaging to pinpoint the problem, then talk you through the best options - which may be surgery, medication, or a combination of both.
Specialist support when it's needed
For advanced procedures we can bring in visiting orthopaedic specialists or refer to a specialist centre. Either way, we help coordinate your pet's care so you are never left to navigate it alone.
Recovery and rehab
Good recovery is just as important as good surgery. We will guide you through rest, medication and gentle rehab so your pet heals well and gets back to doing what they love.
