Specialist Referrals
When a pet develops a complex illness or injury, specialised expertise and advanced equipment are often required for accurate diagnosis and treatment. At Broadford Vets, we work closely with trusted veterinary specialists to ensure your pet receives the highest level of care. If your pet needs specialist treatment, we can refer you to experts who have earned our full confidence, giving your pet the best possible chance of recovery.
Working with Registered Veterinary Specialists
Australian-registered veterinary specialists undergo years of additional training and rigorous examinations to qualify in their field—similar to human medical specialists. These veterinarians are leaders in areas such as orthopaedic surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, oncology, ophthalmology, and soft tissue surgery.
We collaborate closely with Advanced Vet Care, Melbourne Animal Referral Services, and the Animal Referral Hospital Essendon, ensuring seamless communication and continuity of care before, during, and after referral.
Visiting Specialists at Broadford Vets
Some specialist procedures can be performed right here at our clinic by visiting surgeons and ophthalmologists, reducing travel stress for both pets and owners.
We’re proud to have strong partnerships with All Animal Eyes (East Malvern), who visit regularly for ophthalmology consultations and procedures. Clients can contact them directly via their website to arrange appointments.
Our visiting surgeons are highly skilled in advanced orthopaedic, soft tissue, and cancer surgeries—including cruciate and patella repairs, fracture management, joint stabilisation, hernia repair, ear and liver surgery, urinary and reproductive procedures, and tumour removal.
