Why a Specialist Surgeon For Your Pet?
A surgeon will be able to treat complicated cases and will be able to provide an owner with state-of-the-art options. Importantly, a specialist surgeon will work closely with your local family veterinarian in providing the best care for your pet. Your family veterinarian will refer to a specialist surgeon when they feel it is appropriate. A pet may also need a surgeon after coming in through an emergency centre when a surgical procedure requiring a specialist level of treatment is indicated.
