Kibbles Team

What Can I Expect if My Pet is Referred to an Orthopaedic Specialist at Kibbles Veterinary?

When your pet is referred to Kibbles Veterinary for orthopaedic assessment, the process begins with a thorough discussion with our team and a comprehensive physical examination of your pet. To accurately diagnose the cause of lameness, additional investigations may be necessary.

Kibbles Veterinary is equipped with advanced onsite orthopaedic diagnostic facilities, including:

  • Digital radiography
  • CT scanning
  • MRI scanning
  • Arthroscopy (a minimally invasive technique where a small camera is inserted into a joint

Our Orthopaedic Specialists treat a wide range of issues in dogs and cats, such as lameness and trauma. Common causes of lameness we see include rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament in the knee, as well as hip and elbow dysplasia. Pets involved in road traffic accidents often sustain fractures or joint injuries. Our Emergency, Critical Care, and surgical facilities enable our Orthopaedic Surgeons to manage these complex cases effectively.

Orthopaedic surgery demands strict sterile techniques to minimise the risk of post-operative infections. Our operating theatres are maintained to the highest standards, ensuring the best possible environment for surgery and optimal outcomes for your pet.

What Are the Most Common Orthopaedic Conditions Treated at Kibbles Veterinary?

At Kibbles Veterinary, we are proud to offer advanced orthopaedic care, supported by state-of-the-art instrumentation and implant systems. Our experienced surgeons are equipped to perform a wide variety of orthopaedic procedures to diagnose, treat, and manage conditions affecting the bones, joints, and limbs of dogs and cats.

Orthopaedic conditions we address include:

Fractures and Bone Breaks:
Whether simple or complex, we utilise both internal and external fixation techniques to stabilise broken bones and promote healing.

Joint Diseases and Injuries:
Including ligament injuries such as cranial cruciate ligament rupture, as well as joint degeneration, which may require advanced surgical interventions.

Arthroscopic Surgery:
A minimally invasive technique that allows us to diagnose and treat joint issues with smaller incisions, resulting in reduced pain and faster recovery.

Joint Replacements:
For cases of severe joint deterioration, such as hip dysplasia or advanced arthritis, we offer joint replacement surgeries to restore mobility and improve quality of life.

Joint Fusions:
When joint preservation is not possible, fusion procedures can provide stability and pain relief.

Limb Deformities and Congenital Conditions:
We correct limb deformities caused by growth abnormalities or trauma, helping pets regain proper limb function.

Our dedicated team of highly trained veterinary nurses plays a crucial role in the rehabilitation process, providing post-operative care, physiotherapy, and pain management to ensure the best possible recovery outcomes.

At Kibbles Veterinary, we are committed to delivering compassionate, cutting-edge orthopaedic care to help your pets lead healthier, more comfortable lives.
