Orthopaedic surgery and your pet

Orthopaedic surgery encompasses any surgery that is related to bones or joints. It includes procedures such as fracture repairs, ligament repairs and spinal surgery to name a few.

While our Veterinarians are highly skilled in surgery, we make use of a mobile orthopaedic specialist surgeon to address our patient's needs.  The surgery is still performed in the familiar location of our clinic with familiar staff, making your pet feel at ease.

Complicated orthopaedic cases, such as spinal surgery, may need to be referred to a specialist orthopaedic surgeon. Our veterinarians will assess each case individually and provide the best advice for you and your pet.
