Vets Now FAQs
- What conditions does the Orthopaedic team treat?
We treat fractures, ligament injuries (like cruciate disease), joint problems, and developmental conditions such as hip or elbow dysplasia.
- Will my pet need physiotherapy after orthopaedic surgery?
Many pets benefit from rehabilitation to restore strength and mobility. Our team will guide you through exercises, physiotherapy, or hydrotherapy if needed.
- Is orthopaedic surgery safe for older pets?
Age alone is not a barrier. We carefully assess each pet’s overall health and tailor anaesthesia, surgery, and recovery support to their individual needs
