Our Business Philosophy

Melbourne Veterinary Orthopaedics is committed to providing small animal orthopaedic and spinal surgery at a competitive price. This does not mean we can beat general practice pricing where they do not have anaesthesia ventilators, oxygen cages, CT scanners, sterilisers from human hospitals, fluoroscopy, arthroscopy … but we do guarantee you will not find another specialist quote lower than what we offer.

Our prices are transparent. You do not need an appointment at MVO to get pricing. In the vast majority of cases, we can provide immediate pricing by simply uploading your pet’s medical record and x-rays.

Case study

Patient details: 7 yo male Chihuahua x Maltese 6.5kg

Reason for presentation: Spinal pain (severe)

History from owner: “2 weeks ago started trembling over whole body. Yelped when picked up. Worse after walking around, though would wake up in the night trembling and unsettled. Off his food. Hunched appearance. Throughout the last 2 weeks he has still been anticipating pain, yelping expectantly. Walking really tentatively. Very hunched and walking slowly. Not cocking his leg appropriately. 2 years ago similar event happened but he recovered.”

Diagnostic imaging:  Contrast spinal imgaing (lumbar myelogram)

You can see loss of both left and right contrast columns (two parallel white lines) where the disc prolapse is compressing the spinal cord.
Surgical Procedure: Decompressive spinal surgery at L1-2 (hemilaminectomy)

Pet Owner Testimonial

 

Life-Saving Surgery for My Chihuahua!

“I can’t express how grateful I am for MVO and the incredible work they did on my Chihuahua’s IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease). After visiting several vets, who only offered medications and countless expensive consultations without a real solution, I was referred to MVO by a friend who had a great experience with them.

Not only did MVO provide a clear and compassionate approach to our situation, but the surgery was also very affordable, which was such a relief during a challenging time.

The surgery was a success, and I was amazed at how quickly my little guy started to recover. MVO truly has a gift for animal care and surgery. Thanks to them my Chihuahua is back to his happy, active self.

I wholeheartedly recommend MVO to anyone facing similar challenges with their furry friends. MVO are compassionate practitioners who care deeply for their patients.

Thank you, MVO, for giving my dog a second chance at life!”
