Orthopaedic surgery focuses on conditions affecting bones, joints, tendons and ligaments. These issues can significantly impact your pet’s mobility, comfort and quality of life. At Vets of Geelong, our veterinary team provides thorough assessments and surgical solutions to help restore movement, reduce pain and support long-term joint health.
We combine modern surgical techniques with one-on-one nursing care, tailored anaesthetic plans and comprehensive post-operative support to ensure your pet receives high-quality care from start to finish.
Every orthopaedic surgery includes:
• One-on-one nursing care throughout their stay
• Pre-anaesthetic blood testing
• Tailored pain-management plans
• Continuous monitoring under anaesthesia
• Two post-operative check-ups
• Guidance for at-home recovery and rehabilitation
We are committed to helping your pet return to a comfortable, active life as smoothly and safely as possible.
Cruciate ligament injuries are a common cause of pain and hind-limb lameness in dogs. At Vets of Geelong, we offer tailored surgical options including TPLO (Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy) and the DeAngelis (extracapsular) procedure, selected based on your dog’s size, lifestyle, and individual needs.
TPLO provides long-term stability for medium to large or active dogs by changing the biomechanics of the knee, while the DeAngelis procedure is a proven option for smaller dogs or suitable cases. Our team will guide you through every step — from assessment and surgery to pain management and recovery — with your dog’s comfort and wellbeing as our priority.
