Greenmount Veterinary Clinic

Greenmount Veterinary Clinic also operates as VetOrtho Referrals, focusing on orthopaedic and spinal referral work for cats and dogs. The website highlights fracture repair as a frequent procedure and treats spinal disc prolapse (“slipped disc”) as urgent priority cases, with rapid progression to imaging and decompressive surgery, followed by nursing and physiotherapy support. Reviews add two strong signals: owners describe successful spinal surgery outcomes (including one case where “Ewing” reportedly avoided over £2k in MRI fees), and multiple owners mention kind, careful support during euthanasia—while a minority report front-desk rudeness and a large price change between an initial estimate and booking.
