Vet Surgery Help provides independent written opinions on veterinary surgical questions, prepared from the information, records and imaging you provide. An opinion is professional advice on the material supplied. It is not a physical examination, it does not create a treating relationship with your pet, and it does not include prescribing or performing treatment. Your treating veterinarian remains responsible for your pet's care.
This service is not an emergency service. If your pet is in pain, deteriorating or in danger, contact your nearest veterinarian or emergency hospital immediately rather than using this site.
The guides and articles on this site are general information for Australian pet owners. They are written and reviewed with care, but they are not advice about your individual animal, and costs shown are indicative ranges that vary by clinic, city and case. Decisions about your pet should be made with your treating vet, with a written opinion from us if you want one.
The fee for an opinion is confirmed with you before you pay. If we accept a case and are then unable to provide a useful opinion, the fee is refunded.
To the extent permitted by law, our liability in connection with an opinion is limited to resupply of the opinion or refund of the fee paid for it. Nothing in these terms excludes rights you have under the Australian Consumer Law.
Send what your vet said and quoted. A veterinary surgeon reads it and comes back to you with what they can do and what it would cost, before you pay anything. A written second opinion is from $250.
