What to Expect
1 Scheduling
For urgent cases, please initiate contact by phone. For non-urgent cases, submit an online referral. To confirm a booking, we require:
- Referral Form: Submitted online (or provide a full clinical history).
- Imaging: Submit radiographs as DICOM files via our Upload Portal.
- Client Forms: The pet owner must complete the Consultation Questionnaire and sign the relevant Procedure Information Sheet prior to surgery.
2 Pre-Surgery Exam
Please examine the patient the day prior to surgery (ideally) or at admission on the morning of surgery. Pay strict attention to:
- Infections: Check thoroughly for pyoderma, otitis externa, cystitis, or severe gingivitis.
- Bloodwork: Perform pre-anaesthetic blood testing the day prior to avoid delays on surgery day.
- Auscultation: Check heart and lungs.
3 Surgery Day
To ensure a smooth procedure, please ensure all clinic staff involved have reviewed our Perioperative Protocols (covering premedicants, antibiotics, and analgesia options).
Specialized instrumentation, state-of-the-art power equipment, and a full inventory of high-quality implants (including locking plates and TPLO hardware).
A dedicated sterile operating theatre, an experienced surgical nurse for anaesthesia monitoring, and standard surgical consumables (drapes, gowns, soft tissue packs).
4 Rechecks & X-Rays
Physical examinations and follow-up radiographs are performed by your practice. Case information can then be submitted to us for remote assessment.
- Radiograph Positioning: It is critical to replicate the positioning of the immediate post-operative radiographs as accurately as possible for accurate comparison.
- Submission: Submit the follow-up DICOMs alongside the Recheck Form.
- Owner Input: Ask the owner to complete the Patient Progress Form if progress is not as anticipated.
