Petplan Veterinary Awards 2025 – Nominations Are Open!

Every day, our team works hard behind the scenes (and in the theatre!) to help your pets get back on their paws. Whether it's a TPLO surgery, fracture repair, or a carefully managed recovery, we're extremely passionate about making a difference.

If you feel that a member of our team – whether a vet, nurse, receptionist, or the practice as a whole – has made a positive impact on you and your pet, we’d be honoured if you considered nominating us for a Petplan Veterinary Award.

These awards celebrate dedication, compassion, and excellence in veterinary care – and your nominations mean the world to us.

Nominations are still open until the 12th September

There are a few myths when it comes to veterinary orthopaedics and today we are here to bust three of those myths!

If you are concerned with your pets mobility or have noticed changes in their behaviour, even subtle, it is always best to have them checked over by your vets. Early detection is best when managing many orthopaedic complaints.

If you would like your pet to be referred to us for their operation, we will need your vet to contact us. Please ask them to call us on 01473 230 999 for details. We take cases from throughout East Anglia at our purpose-built centre just outside Ipswich.

Happy International Cat Day from everyone here at Christchurch Referrals!

Today, we celebrate the graceful leaps, curious climbs, and cozy stretches of our favourite feline companions. But when those agile movements are interrupted by injury or joint issues, we’re here to help restore their pounce and purr.

At Christchurch Referrals, we hold the Silver Cat Friendly accreditation, so you know we hold the welfare of cats hospitalised with us to a high standard and will ensure their time with us is as stress-free as we can make it!

In the comments below, share a photo of your cat showing off their action pose - be that their best stretch, jump, or even a nap pose—we love seeing them!

Pets in Practice

This little beauty is Nel, the five month old crossbreed who sustained a radioulnar fracture at the beginning of last week.

Surgeon Shane repaired Nel's fracture using a 10-hole 2.7mm DCP plate, which was carefully placed so that it did not interfere with Nel's growth plates.

This little sweetheart stayed with us overnight and was discharged the following day to continue her recovery from the comforts of her own home.

If you would like your pet to be referred to us for their operation, we will need your vet to contact us. Please ask them to call us on 01473 230 999 for details. We take cases from throughout East Anglia at our purpose-built centre just outside Ipswich.

We offer a full range of surgical and diagnostic services to Vet Practices throughout East Anglia. Established in 2001, we are the longest-standing referral centre of our kind in Suffolk. We moved into our purpose-built Ipswich premises in 2011, are independent and promise all customers a personal service.

You can trust our expertise in all small animal surgery, including complicated soft tissue, orthopaedic, neurosurgery and spinal surgery. Determined to provide the latest technology, we have three state-of-the-art theatres, wards and an in-house MRI and CT scanner.

Our team of highly experienced Vet Professionals, led by Director Shane Morrison, is supported by dedicated and qualified Veterinary Nurses and Ward Assistants who make sure every patient is lovingly looked after. We recognise it’s a stressful time for the animals and their owners, so we ensure care and communication is a priority.

Pet owners are always spoken to by the Vet Professional carrying out any surgical procedure. The Surgeon will explain what will happen and see them for post-operative check-ups. We forward all details and aftercare advice to the owner’s Vet Practice.

If you would like your pet to be referred to us for their operation, we will need your vet to contact us. Please ask them to call us on 01473 230 999 for details. We take cases from throughout East Anglia at our purpose-built centre just outside Ipswich.

Staff pets aren't immune from needing trips to the vets! Take Moose for example here, nurse Bella had to bring little Moose to work after she was showing signs of right fore lameness.

Moose came with her mum to Christchurch Referrals a few times to be examined by surgeon Shane, after suspecting a foreign body. The swelling to Moose's toe was explored and Hawthorn thorn was removed! Because of the wound, Moose needed to have a protective bandage placed - and as you can see, two of the nurses who placed Moose's bandage had a great time adding decorations.

We are happy to report, Moose is now back running around the farm enjoying herself and loving life.

If you would like your pet to be referred to us for their operation, we will need your vet to contact us. Please ask them to call us on 01473 230 999 for details. We take cases from throughout East Anglia at our purpose-built centre just outside Ipswich.

Pets in Practice

This pretty little lady is Mia, the four year old Maltese Terrier who was referred to us with an issue walking.

There is a grading scale for thoroacolumbar intervertebral disc extrusions which places patients between 1 and 5 depending on their presentation.
1 - Painful but able to walk normally or almost normally
2 - Able to walk but may be wobbly and cross their legs or place paw incorrectly
3 - Cannot walk unassisted but can make some deliberate movements with the affected legs
4 - Cannot walk unassisted and unable to make deliberate movements with affected legs
5 - Cannot walk unassisted, unable to make deliberate movements and no deep pain present in the toes of affected legs.

Little Mia arrived as a grade III and underwent surgery which was performed by surgeon Aleks. She was then hospitalised for a week for pain relief and physiotherapy before being sent home to continue her recovery.

What a beautiful little lady.

Pets in Practice

This little cutie is Mortimer, the 8 month old Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, who was referred to us for treatment of a left medial patella luxation.

Ward assistant Megan fell in love with little Mortimer and, as you can see, spoilt him rotten with lots of cuddles during recovery.

We know we shouldn't have favourites, but sometimes you just can't help it!
