What We Offer Heysham Vets

Referrals we commonly receive from the Heysham area include:

  • Long bone fractures requiring internal fixation
  • Cranial cruciate ligament disease (TPLO, TTA, or lateral suture repair)
  • Hip dysplasia and elbow dysplasia surgical interventions
  • Soft tissue tumour removal with margin planning and closure techniques

  • Revision surgeries following complications or failed primary procedures

We are happy to accept both routine and urgent referrals, with same-day triage available for trauma or rapidly progressing conditions.

When Should You Refer?

You may wish to consider referring to Bay Vets Referrals when:

  • The surgical complexity exceeds your in-practice capabilities
  • A fracture is comminuted, displaced, or involves a joint
  • A tumour is located in a challenging area and needs specialist removal
  • A previous procedure has not healed as expected
  • A second opinion or surgical plan is needed before proceeding

Our Veterinary Consultants are available for pre-referral discussions and case guidance. We welcome informal dialogue before you commit to referral.

Our Referral Process

We aim to make the referral experience seamless for Heysham-based practices:

  1. Submit your referral online or by phone with case notes and imaging
  2. Our team triages and allocates the case to the appropriate Veterinary Specialist
  3. The patient is admitted to our Referral Hospital for assessment and treatment
  4. You receive a full surgical report, discharge notes, and recovery protocol
  5. We remain in contact with you for follow-up, aftercare, and any complications

Clients continue to see you as their primary vet — we simply provide the advanced care when required.
