Orthopaedic Services for your Pets

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.

Our veterinarians’ high level of expertise and our practice’s fully equipped surgical suite allows us to perform certain orthopaedic surgical procedures that your pet may require. These may include:

Complicated orthopaedic cases, such as spinal surgery, may need to be referred to a specialist orthopaedic surgeon. Our veterinarians (Dr Keith together with visiting orthopaedic surgeon Dr Watson) can assess each case individually and provide the best advice for you and your pet.

At Mittagong Veterinary Hospital we have access to the services of Dr Chris Watson who has a special interest in surgery and extensive experience in orthopaedics. In house at Mittagong Veterinary Hospital TPLO (for cranial cruciate rupture cases) and other orthopaedic/soft tissue services are also available. 

To contact Dr Watson - follow the directions on his website.
