Pain Management

Pain isn't just one simple signal; it travels through multiple pathways in the body. Multimodal analgesia uses smaller, safer doses of several different types of medications that work together synergistically to more effectively block pain.

Understanding Pain Management

Elbow Disease & Arthroscopy

Developmental Elbow Disease (often called Elbow Dysplasia) requires extreme precision to treat. We utilise state-of-the-art digital radiographic imaging and minimally invasive keyhole surgery (arthroscopy) to diagnose and treat joint fragments with pinpoint accuracy.

Understanding Elbow Dysplasia

Patellar luxation

A luxating patella, often recognised by a sudden "skipping" step, occurs when your dog's kneecap repeatedly slips out. We perform surgical realignment combined with other techniques to permanently improve the tracking of the knee mechanism.
