Every successful fracture repair begins with careful planning - to restore alignment, ensure stability and support a full return to function.

This brave patient was referred to our surgeon, Dr. Derniese after suffering a comminuted supracondylar femoral fracture from a high-rise fall - a painful injury. Given the severity of the fracture, strong and reliable internal fixation was essential to give the patient the best chance at a full recovery.

We are pleased to say that this little one has made a beautiful recovery and regained full use of the limb!

With years of surgical experience in Australia and hundreds of orthopaedic surgeries annually, Dr. Derniese brings exceptional skill and compassion to every case.

We are here for you and your pet, if you ever need us.

At only 4 months old, Mikko had a mishap at home that resulted in a fracture to the growth plate in his right distal tibia. Without treatment, this kind of injury can lead to premature growth plate closure and long-term complications with uneven bone growth. Thankfully, the fracture was successfully repaired through minimally invasive keyhole surgery using cross pins. Mikko was able to head home a day after the procedure and has since been recovering quickly and steadily. Here’s to a bright future filled with zoomies, adventures, and hopefully a little less mischief!

POCUS vs. Full Diagnostic Ultrasound: What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

When your pet needs imaging, not all ultrasounds are the same. Point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is a rapid, focused scan used in emergency or critical care settings to quickly assess internal issues like fluid buildup or organ abnormalities. It's an invaluable tool for fast decision-making and stabilizing patients.

On the other hand, a full diagnostic ultrasound is a comprehensive, in-depth scan performed by a trained sonographer, and in our setting, comes with a specialist interpretation report. It provides detailed insights into organ structure and function—ideal for diagnosing complex or chronic conditions.

Understanding the role of each scan helps pet owners make informed choices about their pet’s care and what to expect during their visit.

Zeny came to us after his owners noticed that he was suddenly unable to stand or walk. A CT scan revealed severe spinal cord compression, otherwise known as IVDD, and it was clear that immediate surgery was necessary. (We shared more about IVDD in a previous post!)

We performed a Mini-hemilaminectomy to relieve the pressure and remove the compression to the spinal cord. The surgery went smoothly, and with careful post-operative care, Zeny is now fully recovered and back to his energetic, bubbly self.

We couldn’t be happier with his progress and are so thankful to see him back on his paws!

🚨 Dystocia in Dogs & Cats: A Veterinary Emergency 🚨

When your pet is in labor, it’s crucial to know when things aren’t going as planned. Dystocia (difficult birth) can pose serious risks to both the mother and her babies. Understanding the signs can help you act quickly and get the right help.

If you notice prolonged labor, abnormal presentations, or signs of distress, don’t hesitate—call our emergency team at Westside Veterinary Emergency and Referral Hospital. We're available 24/7 to provide the care your pet needs! 🐾💙

Meet Nagi, the sweet 4-month-old Pomeranian who faced a tough challenge when he broke his leg at home. He had a distal femoral fracture in his left hind leg, but thanks to the quick action of our surgical specialist, Dr. Derniese Goh, his leg was successfully repaired with surgery using the Arix (Jeil Medical) system for mini pets.

The surgery was incredibly delicate, as Nagi weighed only 1kg+ and his femur bone measured just 3.5mm! The plate and screws used were 1.2mm in size and are made of titanium. With these fractures, it is important to get accurate alignment of the bone and joints to prevent future joint issues.

Now, 2 months post-surgery, Nagi is fully healed and back to his playful self! We’re so happy to see his running around again, ready for his next adventure. Swipe >> to see his xray images!

Dr. Derniese excels not only in routine orthopedic procedures but also in handling fractures, whether simple or complex. Her extensive and comprehensive training in orthopedic surgery sets her apart as a Specialist Surgeon in the field. Call us now at 6931 0095 for all orthopedic inquiries.
