Bay Vets Referrals Kirkby Lonsdale | Advanced Surgical Support for Vets

Bay Vets Referrals is proud to support veterinary practices in Kirkby Lonsdale with specialist-level orthopaedic and soft tissue surgical care. We know that some cases demand more than general practice can provide – particularly when complex anatomy, trauma, or complications are involved.

As a focused Veterinary Referral Centre and Referral Hospital, our team delivers consistent surgical results through a collaborative, vet-to-vet model. With experienced Veterinary Specialists and Veterinary Consultants, we ensure your clients and patients receive a seamless referral experience, while you remain at the heart of their care.

Surgical Services for Kirkby Lonsdale Practices

We commonly accept referrals involving:

  • Cruciate ligament rupture and patellar luxation
  • Long bone fractures and multiple trauma injuries
  • Wound reconstruction and large soft tissue defects
  • Abdominal hernias and tumour removals
  • Implant complications and surgical revisions

All procedures are carried out in our Lancaster-based Veterinary hospital, fully equipped for specialist surgery, diagnostics, anaesthesia, and recovery.

When to Consider Referral

  • A fracture cannot be stabilised safely in-house
  • Surgery has been attempted but failed to achieve outcome
  • Tumours need wide surgical margins or reconstructive closure
  • Complex wounds require advanced skin flap techniques
  • A second opinion is needed before surgical intervention

If you’re unsure whether referral is necessary, we welcome clinical discussion. Our Veterinary Consultants are happy to review cases informally before any decision is made.
