When to Refer

You may consider referring when:

  • Conservative treatment has failed, or advanced surgery is clearly indicated
  • There are significant anatomical complexities or complications
  • The case involves delicate structures like joints, tendons, or neurovascular bundles
  • A previous procedure has not resolved the issue or has created a new one

Our Veterinary Consultants are available to discuss cases informally if you’re unsure about the referral path.
