Our experienced, multi-disciplinary team of Diagnostic Imagers, endoscopists and surgeons are able to assess and treat a wide variety of joint pathologies ranging from humeral intercondylar fissure and elbow dysplasias to meniscal and cruciate tears. We pride ourselves on the clarity of our explanations and levels of client satisfaction.
Our surgical team has many years’ experience of all types of orthopaedic (bone) surgery and our joint disease clinic is led by RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery.
Examples of joint diseases treated:
We have been producing and reporting Computed Tomography of bones and joints for several years. The CT scanner is a new 16 slice GE of the type found in many human hospitals. It scans all sizes of small animal patients from Great Danes to tortoises.
Our arthroscopers have an excellent success rate in returning lame patients to normal ambulation. We routinely use Protein Rich Plasma therapy as part of our arthrosurgery protocol to promote and encourage rapid return to soundness.
Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) is made by taking a blood sample from your pet and preparing this using a specialised centrifuged.
By injecting PRP directly into the joint, we aim to promote healing by using natural chemical produced by your pets’ body themselves.
Our twenty four hour dedicated nursing team has a great deal of experience in nursing orthopaedic cases for post-surgical patients in need of considerable support.
We also have in-house qualified Hydrotherapists and a qualified Physiotherapist for those patients who would benefit from these forms of support.
