Orthopaedics
We are one of the leading orthopaedic referral services for small animals in the UK. We have an experienced team of Specialist orthopaedic surgeons who are committed to providing the best care to every patient. We are supported by a dedicated team of surgical ECVS residents, veterinary interns, RCVS registered veterinary nurses and animal care assistants.
As part of the largest specialist led multidisciplinary referral hospital in the South West we are able to manage all orthopaedic cases to the highest standard and offer the latest evidence based treatments. All patient anaesthetics are overseen by specialist veterinary anaesthetists maximising patient safety. Complex cases, such as multiple trauma patients, requiring the input of other disciplines have the benefit of onsite specialists in soft tissue surgery, neurology, medicine, oncology, diagnostic imaging, emergency medicine and critical care. We also have onsite clinical laboratories.
Working with colleagues in physiotherapy, rehabilitation and the pain clinic ensures we can create post operative and recovery plans to encourage pets and working dogs to return to maximum function. We offer and discuss a range of treatment options for all cases we see, tailoring treatment to the individual.
