Veterinary Orthopaedic Services

Veterinary Orthopaedic Services appears to be tied to Ó Scanaill Veterinary Hospital, a long-running, family-founded practice (established in 1949) that describes itself as a veterinary hospital with “the latest available technology” and a team of five vets. Based on the website and recent reviews, it looks set up for a broad mix of routine and more involved medical/surgical cases: the site highlights diagnostics and surgery plus dental care, while reviews mention hospitalisation on fluids, procedures with follow-up visits, investigation of chronic problems (including long-term ear infections), and euthanasia handled with particular attention to empathy and respect. Several reviewers also comment on “pragmatic and sensible advice” and “reasonable” fees, though no specific prices are given.
