Specialist Referrals for Pets
Specialist Referrals – Expert Care for Complex Cases
Sometimes, pets develop illnesses or injuries that require specialist expertise and advanced diagnostic equipment to ensure the best possible outcome. In these cases, we can refer your pet to a trusted veterinary specialist who has the knowledge and experience to handle complex medical conditions.
Why a Specialist Referral?
Veterinary specialists undergo years of advanced training beyond standard veterinary qualifications. Much like human specialists, they focus on a particular area of veterinary medicine, such as:
- Internal Medicine – For conditions affecting the liver, kidneys, digestive system, and more.
- Orthopaedics – For complex bone fractures, joint injuries, or spinal problems.
- Cardiology – For heart disease, murmurs, and circulation issues.
- Ophthalmology – For advanced eye care and surgery.
- Dermatology – For persistent skin conditions, allergies, and ear infections.
- Neurology – For conditions affecting the brain, spine, and nervous system.
A Trusted Network of Specialists
We work closely with a network of highly skilled veterinary specialists to ensure that your pet receives the best care possible. These professionals have earned our trust and confidence, and we only refer to those we believe will provide the highest standard of treatment.
What to Expect
Once we determine that a specialist referral is the best course of action, we will:
- Provide you with the specialist’s contact details.
- Share your pet’s medical records, test results, and history with the specialist.
- Stay in communication with the specialist to ensure continuity of care.
Since specialists are independent veterinarians, they set their own fees, it’s always a good idea to discuss costs when scheduling your appointment.
