Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch

At Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch, we focus on providing gold standard elective orthopaedic packages to referring veterinary practices and their clients.

It is stressful enough knowing your pet requires surgery. For peace of mind, our packages have fixed prices so there are no unwanted financial surprises. Four physio sessions are included in each orthopaedic package to restore mobility quickly. Our leading hospital is fitted with advanced equipment including a CT machine, temperature-controlled recovery room and Game Ready athlete healing system.

Our experienced surgical team performs each surgery precisely, calmly and quietly. After surgery, your pet wakes up in a dedicated temperature controlled warming room. During anaesthesia recovery, our lovely recovery nurse sits with your pet so they are not alone. All our patients go home with multimodal pain relief on the same day of surgery. This avoids separation anxiety and expensive after-hours care.

Meet Morpheus, our very brave feline friend 🖤

Morpheus was referred to us by McMaster & Heap Veterinary Practice with a hock injury. After a consultation with us, Morpheus was admitted for a right talocentral instability fracture/lux fixation 🐾

✨ Procedure Update ✨
We then investigated a suspected talar fracture but found none on exploration. Instead, we identified significant joint instability, which we stabilised with a talocentral arthrodesis, bone graft, plate, and screw. Post op x-rays show great alignment and implant placement. Everything went smoothly, and we’re super pleased with the outcome! 😁

It's a day to celebrate man's best friend 🖤💛

Take time to appreciate the love and value that dogs bring to our daily lives. From keeping us safe working for the emergency services to supporting people who are blind, deaf, or disabled, dogs do a lot for us humans, and this is an opportunity to show our appreciation. Give your dog an extra big cuddle today 🐾

This is not just a job for our team, this is their passion 🖤💛

Our team love every single one of the patients that come through the door. Your pet will be treated with love and kindness as they are now a part of the Animal Orthopaedics family. Waking up from surgery can be scary for some patients, but your pet will never be alone - our surgical nurses sit with your pet (and offer plenty of cuddles) to allow a stress free recovery.

A change in movement is often the first sign of pain in dogs. 🐾

Observing a dog's gait can reveal clues about it's overall health and fitness. For example, a dog favoring one leg might be experiencing pain or discomfort in that limb. Gait analysis can also help identify subtle lameness. If you are ever concerned about your dog's gait or notice a change, always chat to your vet.

Miss Maysie from New Zealand Pug Rescue had bilateral luxating patella surgery in May 🌸🎀

An awesome update from Maysie's family and beautiful photo of her taking a walk at the park:

"We want to thank everyone involved in Maysie's care. Each step of Maysie's journey we were supported and at ease - such a professional friendly team.

A special thanks to Bex, it was lovely seeing your friendly familiar face again. We were at ease knowing Maysie was in the very best hands. Your care & support has been so very much appreciated. We thank you, above & beyond! 🖤💛

We are over the Moon to have Miss Maysie as part of our family! We look forward to Maysie's full recovery so she can get zooming again!"

International Cat Day is a full 24 hours of recognition for one of humanity’s oldest and most beloved pets – the cat! If they would lower themselves to have a conversation with a mere human, any cat would probably say that every day should be a day for celebrating cats all over the world. But this is one particular day that the humans have set aside each year for that purpose 💛🖤

Impi's owner sent a couple of pictures of an update on Impi after his surgery with us 💛

"Thought I would send a couple pics of Impi "suffering" through his recovery! 🤣
To say he is bored, despite kongs, snuffle mats, chews etc etc, is an understatement, but he is being a very good boy!"

Great job Impi, hope you are lapping up all the cuddles, it won't be long until you are up and doing the things you love again 🖤

Meet Murphy AKA Total Ladies Man 💛

Poor Murphy came to us with all the signs: Lameness, reluctance to walk, difficulty getting up after lying down, unable to jump onto couch, our orthopaedic surgeon discovered poor Murphy had a cruciate ligament tear on not just his left, but his right leg too.

Murphy came back for a Bilateral Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy with our team, which means he got both legs all fixed up. He got lots of snuggles and cuddles from our nurses when he woke, and everyone just fell in love with him! 🖤

Thanks so much to West Vet for referring this cool guy over to us, he is now ace'ing his physio rehab programme 😎
