Veterinary Surgical Services in Sussex

OrthoPet Pro provides peripatetic veterinary surgical support across Sussex for suitable small animal cases. Led by Dr Shahar Somer, the service gives veterinary teams access to experienced orthopaedic and soft tissue surgical expertise when additional support is needed.

Where appropriate, surgery can be carried out within the patient’s usual veterinary setting. This allows the primary veterinary team to remain involved in the patient’s care before and after the procedure.

Peripatetic Veterinary Surgery Across Sussex

The peripatetic model allows your team to access specialist surgical experience without automatically moving the patient to another centre.

Dr. Somer works directly with the referring veterinary surgeon, discussing the case, planning the procedure and considering the facilities available for surgery. Where suitable, the operation can take place at the patient’s usual veterinary setting.

The primary team can then continue with postoperative monitoring and ongoing care.
