Greenmount Veterinary Clinic – Vets in Armagh City
Clinic Overview
Greenmount Veterinary Clinic also operates as VetOrtho Referrals, with a focus on orthopaedic and spinal referral work for cats and dogs. The clinic highlights fracture repair as a common procedure and treats spinal disc prolapse (“slipped disc”) as an urgent condition, with rapid progression to imaging and decompressive surgery where needed, followed by nursing and physiotherapy support. Recent reviews continue to highlight strong experiences with spinal and leg surgery and compassionate end-of-life care, alongside some concerns about reception interactions and price consistency.
