Coast OrthoVet

Lameness evaluation considers the history, severity and progression of the lameness. An orthopaedic physical exam is performed. Diagnostic imaging, including radiographs, ultrasound and CT (Computed Tomography); or joint-fluid sampling may be recommended in animals to help narrow the possible causes of lameness. These tests must always be interpreted in light of the physical exam.

​

These steps may occur all at once, or over time, depending on the severity of the lameness.​

Coast OrthoVet offers:​

• Consultation for physical exam and gait analysis, surgical opinion and individualised treatment plan

• Additional diagnostic procedures as required

• Complimentary review of imaging from referring vets
