Annual Health Check & Consultation

Annual health checks are vital to maintaining your pet’s health. Remember that your pet having a health check once a year is like us going to the doctor or dentist every 6-7 years.

During this health check your pet not only gets a thorough physical examination, but we can discuss preventative health care including:

-Vaccinations and ongoing vaccination protocols

-Flea prevention
-Nutrition
-Weight management
-Senior health management

Vaccinations aim to prevent diseases that are life threatening to your pet and are an integral part of preventative medicine.

Cruciate Surgery

Cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency is one of the most common causes of hind leg lameness in dogs. Rupture of the cruciate ligament can be caused entirely by trauma; however, in most dogs it is a consequence of progressive degeneration/fatigue of the cruciate ligament. When the cruciate ligament ruptures, the subsequent instability of the knee joint invariably leads to the development of osteoarthritis.

There are numerous techniques to stabilise the knee joint when a cruciate ligament fails. The most common are the lateral suture (De Angilis) procedure and tibial osteotomy procedures (TPLO, TTA and TTO). At the Eureka Veterinary Clinic, Ballarat, the tibial osteotomy produce performed is the Tibial Plateau Levelling Osteotomy (TPLO). The TPLO procedure aims to alter the joint in such a way that it provides dynamic stability to the joint and is the preferred procedure for dogs over 25kgs. Once a diagnosis has been reached, the vet will discuss with you which of these procedures is best suited to your pet.
