What can I Expect if my Pet is Referred to the Orthopaedic department?

Each patient referred will first undergo a detailed discussion with the owner and clinical examination. We routinely perform investigations for undiagnosed and difficult to localise lameness cases. Diagnosing the cause of lameness often requires further investigations. Eden Vets has access to state-of-the-art imaging modalities to include:

  • Digital radiography
  • CT / MRI
  • MSK ultrasound (particularly good for occult soft tissue injuries and chronic tendinopathies)
  • Arthroscopy

A comprehensive treatment plan will be devised based on imaging findings and owners will be given best available treatment options to manage the condition with time spent discussing the options and tailoring the plan to best suit the patient. Our surgeons are supported by a highly trained and caring team of veterinary nurses who play a critical role in rehabilitating patients following Orthopaedic surgery.

Eden Vets has state of the art facilities and industry leading equipment. Our theatres are designed to minimise the chance of acquiring surgical site infections. We closely monitor our results to identify any increases in the rate or severity of infections.

As well as accepting routine surgical referrals, our orthopaedic team plays a vital role in the management of many complex cases that require a multi-disciplinary approach ensuring that all animals receive the best treatment for the individual.

Our team members are always happy to advise referring vets on management of their cases, either over the phone or through email.
