Vet Specialist Referrals

Remember the old saying “It takes a village to raise a child”? Well sometimes it takes a Village Network to treat a health issue. The Village Vet has access to a wide range of skilled and trusted veterinarians that we refer to for specialist care and diagnostics. Just like a regular GP doctor, our amazing vets treat a wide range of concerns and illnesses and when they need to, they can access a referral network to get your pet the care they need.

Once your animal has been for their referral we will then work with their referral vet to create a plan and provide all the care they need.

When is a Specialist Referral Needed?

There are several instances where a specialist referral may be recommended for your pet's specific needs. We are privileged in Canberra to have access to many veterinary specialists here and also in Sydney. If you would like a referral please get in contact with us today.

1. Complex Medical Conditions

If your pet has a complex or rare medical condition that requires specialised diagnostics, treatment, or ongoing management, a referral to a veterinary specialist may be warranted. These specialists have extensive knowledge and access to cutting-edge technologies and treatment options.

2. Advanced Diagnostic Imaging

In cases where advanced imaging techniques, such as MRI, CT scans, or ultrasonography, are necessary to accurately diagnose your pet's condition, a specialist referral may be advised. These specialists have expertise in interpreting and utilising specialised imaging tools.

3. Surgical Expertise

If your pet requires complex or specialised surgical procedures, such as orthopaedic surgeries, spinal surgeries, or intricate soft tissue surgeries, our referral network includes skilled veterinary surgeons who specialise in these areas. They have the knowledge and experience to perform these procedures with precision and care.

3. Ophthalmology

Eye-related conditions, including cataracts, glaucoma, or retinal diseases, may require the attention of a veterinary ophthalmologist. These specialists are equipped to diagnose and treat various ocular conditions, ensuring the best possible care for your pet's vision.

4. Dermatology

Persistent skin conditions, allergies, or complicated dermatological issues may necessitate a referral to a veterinary dermatologist. These specialists have in-depth knowledge of skin diseases and can provide targeted treatment plans to alleviate your pet's discomfort.

5. Cardiology

If your pet has a heart condition, such as a heart murmur, arrhythmia, or congenital heart disease, a referral to a veterinary cardiologist may be recommended. These specialists can perform detailed cardiac evaluations and provide specialised treatments or management plans.
