WHAT WE TREAT
Common orthopedic conditions
The conditions we see most often, and how each is actually treated.
SIGNS TO WATCH OUT FOR
When to book an evaluation
A few of these on their own can be easy to overlook, but they're often the first clue something's genuinely wrong.
Persistent limping
Swollen or tender joints
Sudden reluctance to move
Difficulty rising or climbing stairs
Audible joint popping
Noticeable muscle loss in one leg
Some orthopedic conditions are easier to manage when identified early. If limping, pain or reluctance to move persists, an orthopedic evaluation can help identify the cause before the problem progresses.
ASSESSMENT AND SURGERY
What actually happens, from diagnosis to recovery
Every assessment and procedure is built around one goal: helping your pet regain mobility and live pain-free.
STEP 1
Assessment
We start with a full orthopaedic exam to confirm the diagnosis and understand what your pet needs.
Your pet's assessment may include:
Orthopaedic exam and weight-bearing assessment
Digital X-rays, or on-site Fidex-FS CT imaging for complex joint or spinal cases
A discussion of symptoms and mobility at home
Pre-anaesthetic bloodwork, where appropriate
A full estimate and recovery plan
Nothing gets booked until we're confident surgery is the right next step for your pet.
STEP 2
Surgery
Every procedure is carried out with the same care and attention, whatever the diagnosis.
Your pet's surgery may include:
General anaesthesia, with a dedicated nurse monitoring vitals throughout
A sterile surgical theatre built for orthopedic work
The Arthrex TPLO system for cruciate ligament repair
Precision implants for joint replacement cases
Close monitoring from start to finish, so nothing is missed
Afterwards, many pets begin using the affected limb within days, and regular rechecks track healing and adjust the plan if needed.

SECOND OPINION
Already been told your pet needs surgery?
A surgery recommendation is a big decision. If another vet has suggested orthopedic surgery for your pet, Dr. Singh can review the diagnosis, walk you through the alternatives, and confirm whether surgery is really the right next step.
