 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Friendly staff from receptionists to vets and amazing care.   I was a bit worried when I saw some of the bad reviews but I had a very positive experience. Only thing they could improve on is a rabbit/ small animal waiting room.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We came to Eastcott Referrals first for advice on my dog's hip issue (she is a rescue that had a severely damaged hip from a badly healed injury as a pup), and then for Total Hip Replacement surgery. Vets, nurses and honestly everyone in Eastcott Referrals was professional, knowledgeable and understanding at the same time. We, dog and humans, all felt really well taken care of, supported and accompanied throughout and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t sing their praises enough! We travelled from Kent to see the dentistry team. I don’t trust many people when it comes to the care of my beloved dog but their kindness and expertise way surpassed my expectations. Alix really is exceptional and I would recommend Eastcott to anyone in need of a fantastic and skilled dentistry team.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We travelled from Birmingham as our dog, Flora needed specialist dental care. She is very small (chihuahua size) and has a complexed medical history.  The receptionist was friendly and efficient. On meeting the clincal team it was obvious they had researched her medical history and clearly explained what they planned to do. The specialist, Andrew Perry, called us after the xray and fully explained that things were more complicated than originally expected and gained our agreement to carry on, now fully understanding the additional risks involved. Thankfully the skill and expertise of Andrew and his team got Flora through without any complications, for which we are extremely grateful for.

Questions on orthopaedic procedures.

Is TPLO the best surgery for cranial cruciate ligament problems?

It is the most robust and gives a more rapid recovery in comparison with other techniques used for this problem. Small, light body mass patients can be treated successfully with medical treatment (pain killers) and a long period of restricted activity, but the recovery period is typically longer than that required following surgery. There are several surgical procedures that can be used to treat cranial cruciate ligament problems, including techniques that replace the damaged ligament and ‘tibial osteotomy’ techniques which modify the shape of the top part of the tibia to make the stifle stable in the absence of a functional CCL. In most cases, tibial osteotomy techniques result in faster recoveries and, of these, TPLO appears to be the most robust technique with a favourably low complication rate.

I’ve been referred for a TPLO procedure. What does this mean?

TPLO stands for tibial plateau levelling operation and is the procedure of first choice for most dogs suffering from rupture or disease of the cranial cruciate ligament in the stifle (the knee joint). When the joint becomes unstable and rather than flexing and extending normally during weight bearing it gives way, and the tibia is pushed forwards. TPLO involves a cut of the tibia (the shinbone) and accurate modification of the slope of the top (the plateau) of the bone. This allows the stifle joint to be re-stabilised during weight-bearing and locomotion. The modified shape of the tibia is maintained using bone screws and a plate. These maintain the corrected shape of the tibia during the healing period of approximately 8 weeks.

Can hip dysplasia be treated by surgery?

A number of different surgical procedures are performed to treat different presentations or severity of hip dysplasia. Very young puppies (4 months or less) with hip laxity can be treated to modify growth and reverse developing hip dysplasia. A minimally invasive technique selectively arrests growth of just the underside of the pelvis, to overcome the early changes of hip dysplasia. Puppies aged 5 to 11 months with mild hip dysplasia can benefit from pelvic osteotomy surgery which overcomes the tendency for the hips to subluxate (partial dislocation). For most severely affected puppies and adult dogs with hip osteoarthritis secondary to hip dysplasia, total hip replacement is the surgical procedure of choice. This is a reliable procedure with a good long-term prognosis, even in puppies.

Cruciate disease is the most commonly treated orthopaedic condition in dogs. The term is used to describe lameness attributable to partial or complete rupture of the cranial cruciate ligament with resultant instability of the stifle (knee joint) and development of osteoarthritis.

Eastcott Veterinary Referrals offers TPLO surgery which is the current Gold Standard treatment available.

*All cases will be seen via a consultation within 48 hours of referral (Monday to Friday) unless we encounter unforeseen circumstances in which case the earliest appointment will be offered.
