Vet Orthopaedic Referrals-

Ewing Walker BVM&S CertSAS MRCVS

We provide a small animal orthopaedic referral service in Portadown & Richhill and receive small animal orthopaedic referrals from practices throughout Ireland, both North & South, including Belfast, Dublin, Castlederg, Omagh, Enniskillen, Fintona, Dundalk, Ballyclare, Bangor, Armagh, Donegal, Galway, Monaghan, Cavan, Cork & Banbridge and we invite you to make use of the service when you feel it may be helpful. Clients have found a cost saving to travel from Wales and the south of England for orthopaedic surgery on their pets.


Your client Loyalty

Our emphasis is on working with the referring vet ensuring early return of client & patient to their own practice post op. We guarantee to not perform other first opinion treatment on cases referred for surgery apart from treatments which are necessary to be given during the period of hospitalisation, and all cases are referred back to their own practice for further advice.


Quality of service

Cases for referral are treated as a priority and seen immediately. Please feel free to contact me anytime on 00447712187010 about any orthopaedic case or radiograph. We hope that you will find this locally available service convenient and of assistance. The following pages give an idea of the procedures and services provided.


Client Affordability

As always it is ideal when a client's pet is insured but many are not. We offer an affordable orthopaedic referral service without sacrifice of quality.


Client Convenience
