Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch

At Animal Orthopaedics Christchurch, we focus on providing gold standard elective orthopaedic packages to referring veterinary practices and their clients.
(2)

It is stressful enough knowing your pet requires surgery. For peace of mind, our packages have fixed prices so there are no unwanted financial surprises. Four physio sessions are included in each orthopaedic package to restore mobility quickly. Our leading hospital is fitted with advanced equipment including a CT machine, temperature-controlled recovery room and Game Ready athlete healing system.

Our experienced surgical team performs each surgery precisely, calmly and quietly. After surgery, your pet wakes up in a dedicated temperature controlled warming room. During anaesthesia recovery, our lovely recovery nurse sits with your pet so they are not alone. All our patients go home with multimodal pain relief on the same day of surgery. This avoids separation anxiety and expensive after-hours care.

World Mental Health Day 2024 🧠

This year's theme, "It is Time to Prioritize Mental Health in the Workplace", is a call to action that resonates worldwide 🌏

The COVID-19 pandemic pulled the curtain back on the dramatic need to address mental health issues in the workplace 👩‍🏫

Today, leaders are dedicated to supporting their team's mental health, knowing it benefits both individuals and overall team productivity 🥰

The goal is clear: to champion mental health in the workplace and build practices that create cultures where team members have the potential to contribute productively and thrive 🤗

At Animal Othropaedics Christchurch, mental health is a priority and a focus. We are encouraged to look out for ourselves and for each other 🫂

It's cool to be kind ❤️‍🩹

Vet Nurse Awareness Week is a special time dedicated to acknowledging and celebrating the incredible individuals who are the backbone of animal healthcare in New Zealand 🫶

These unsung heroes, often working behind the scenes, are veterinary nurses, veterinary technicians/technologists, and animal healthcare assistants 👩‍⚕️🧑‍

They are compassionate and skilled professionals who provide vital support to veterinarians and ensure that your beloved pets and animals receive the best care possible ✨

But it's not just about their technical skills; it's their unwavering dedication and genuine love for animals that truly set them apart 🥰

Vet Nurse Awareness Week is a chance to say "thank you" to these caring professionals who ensure that your pets are in safe hands when they need it most 🫶

Meet Ali 🐾

Sweet Ali visited the AOC team recently for a TPLO surgery after rupturing her cranial cruciate ligament. The surgery went really well and she enjoyed lots of cuddles with nurse Alex 👩‍⚕️

We have also seen Ali in for her two-week post-op check and can report that he is recovering well. Extra brownie points can also be given for adhering to her exercise and confinement plan well 🥳

A big thanks to the team at McMaster & Heap Veterinary Practice for referring Ali and her family to AOC 🤗

The World Is Their Home too 🌏

World Animal Day unites the animal welfare movement, mobilising it into a global force to make the world a better place for all animals. Each one of us can make a difference – together we make a change! 🤗

By increasing awareness and improving education worldwide, those involved are helping to create a space for recognising wild and farmed animals as sentient beings with thoughts, feelings, and individual personalities 🥰

Be part of something special ✨

Meet Maiya 🐾

12 week old Maiya visited the AOC team recently as she, unfortunately, fractured her tiny tibia while playing 😮

Dr Rebecca Weight and Dr Lynne Wilkins placed an external fixator frame to reduce the fracture and hold it in place while Maiya heals. External fixator frames are great a great option for fractures in puppies as they are still growing and their bones heal really fast 🙌

Once the fracture is healed, the frame can be easily removed under a sedation and then Maiya can get back to enjoying life a puppy! 🥳

Maiya, of course, enjoyed many cuddles with the nursing team during her stays at AOC 🥰

Of course, coffee can be great every day, but on International Coffee Day, it should be particularly special! ☕

Most of our team at AOC are very passionate about their coffee, and it has definitely part of their morning ritual while at work. We are even lucky enough to have a fabulous coffee machine in the staff room to whip up our own delicious beverages 🙌

It’s a great day for coffee lovers and coffee connoisseurs, alike, to make a big deal out of this beverage they love 🥳

Hi guys! 👋

It's me Toby again! I'm just checking that you all put your clocks forward last night and are as excited for the sunny evenings and warmer days as I am! ☀️

I can't wait to get back to zoomies again soon! 🐕‍🦺💨

Mental Health Awareness Week 2024 ✨

We all have mental health. It’s a taonga/treasure, something to look after so we can lead our best and most fulfilling lives 🤗

This week is also a gentle reminder to actively prioritise and nurture our mental health beyond the week itself 🫂

The World Health Organisation defines wellbeing as “a state in which every individual realises their own potential; can cope with the normal stresses of life; can work productively and fruitfully; and is able to make a contribution to their community” 🫶

Put simply, wellbeing is about how we feel, and how we function day-to-day 👍

Be kind to yourself 🥰

Casper

Look how stunning Casper is. He is a samoyed that came to us for Bilateral Cruciate Surgery last Friday. You can't even tell from the front of this big fluffy cloud that he has had anything done! Mum is doing an amazing and is so proud of Casper's walking at just 5 days post op! We will keep you updated as Casper will be seeing the @animalphysionz team regularly to ensure the best outcome of his rehabilitation after surgery 🥰🥰
