Send your pet's case to a specialist veterinary surgeon and get an independent written opinion before you commit to a four figure decision. No clinic, no upsell, just a surgeon's honest read on the diagnosis, the quote and the options.
A written opinion you can take back to your own vet.
Not a call centre vet. A surgeon who does these procedures.
No clinic to book you into. The opinion is the product.
A written opinion you can share with your treating vet.
Tell us what your vet said, what was quoted, and what you want to know. Attach records, imaging or the quote if you have them.
Your case is read by a veterinary surgeon, not triaged by a chatbot or a call centre.
Plain language answers on the diagnosis, whether surgery is warranted, the technique, the quote and the questions to ask next.
Most people arrive holding a quote and a knot in their stomach. These are the four moments we help with.
The same operation can cost $2,950 at one clinic and $9,000 at another. We tell you whether your quote is fair and what is driving it.
Some conditions have real non surgical options. Some do not. A surgeon can tell you which one you are looking at, honestly.
Recovery is not going the way you were told it would. Get an independent read on whether what you are seeing is normal.
When the choice is major surgery or goodbye, you deserve a second set of expert eyes before you decide either way.
Plain language guides to the surgery, the Australian costs, the alternatives and the recovery.
Every case sent through Vet Surgery Help is reviewed personally by Eben Martin, a veterinary surgeon who performs these procedures. Owners and GP vets bring him the cases that need a surgeon's eye: second opinions, complex diagnoses, and quotes that do not feel right.
Ask the surgeon. A written independent opinion, from $250.
