Orthopaedic Surgery
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.
We are very fortunate to have access to a local travelling specialist surgeon Dr Tom Smith who regularly performs surgeries at our clinic.
Some Orthopaedic surgeries at our clinic may include:
- Cranial cruciate ligament repair
- Fracture (broken bone) repair
- Amputations for severe injuries or bone cancer cases
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.

Desexing or neutering your pet is a surgical procedure that prevents them from being able to reproduce. In male pets it is commonly referred to as “castration”, and in female pets as “speying”. This is the most frequent surgery performed by our vets, and generally your pet is home by the evening of surgery.

The most common ticks infesting dogs in Australia are the paralysis tick, the brown dog tick, and the bush tick. Ticks are becoming more prevalent in the local area due to the movement of wild animals and development occurring in the area. We have a wide range of preventative options in clinic to prevent paralysis ticks such as monthly Simparica or Bravecto which can be given every 3 months as an oral chew or every 6 months as a spot on.
