Destination Orthopaedic Surgery for New Farm Pets

State-of-the-art bone, joint, and spinal surgery via the cross-city tunnels.

From daily walks around New Farm Park to navigating bustling riverfront paths, inner-city dogs lead highly active lives. When complex surgical conditions arise, a quick trip across the city connects New Farm pet parents directly to BoneVet. Operating out of Bardon Veterinary Hospital, we provide elite orthopaedic and neurosurgical capabilities.

Led by a highly experienced clinical director, we manage severe traumas, chronic joint diseases, and complex soft-tissue surgeries with uncompromising medical rigour and deeply personalised care.

Our Surgical Capabilities for New Farm:

Elite Anaesthetic Monitoring

Every surgical patient is supported by advanced anaesthetic machines with integrated multi-parameter monitors and auto-ventilators, delivering uncompromised respiratory safety.

Arthroscopic Surgery

We utilise minimally invasive "keyhole" camera incisions for developmental diseases of the elbow and shoulder, dramatically reducing post-operative recovery time.

Spinal Surgery (IVDD)

We are equipped to treat severe spinal pathologies, including emergency spinal decompression for intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) in the neck and back.
