Veterinary Rehabilitation Services
Rehabilitation services at Northern Illawarra Veterinary Hospital in Bulli encompass a comprehensive approach to restoring and enhancing the health and functionality of pets following injury or illness. From post-operative care to conservative management of injuries and dysfunctions, the rehabilitation program is designed to cater to a variety of conditions.
The hospital employs rehabilitative measures as part of a multimodal approach, incorporating elements such as massage, exercise prescription and home modification recommendations to ensure a holistic healing process. Customised rehabilitation programs address specific issues including arthritis, joint conditions, hip/elbow dysplasia and post-operative surgical rehabilitation for a range of orthopaedic concerns. Whether managing cruciate injuries through conservative or post-operative measures, addressing patella luxation or handling intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), the rehabilitation team at the hospital focuses not only on physical recovery but also on comprehensive pain management strategies.
Ultimately, the hospital's rehabilitation services extend beyond the conventional scope, providing palliative and quality of life care to enhance the overall wellbeing of pets on their journey to restored health and functionality.
Pet Nutrition Advice
Proper nutrition is a crucial aspect of maintaining your pet's ongoing health, alongside regular exercise and veterinary care. At Northern Illawarra Veterinary Hospital, our focus is on quality nutrition, primarily offering Hill's Science Diet and Royal Canin for both cats and dogs. Instead of carrying general pet foods, we prioritise prescription diets—specialised formulations highly recommended and prescribed by our veterinary team to address specific health needs. This can cover diets such as specialised food for:
- Weight loss & management
- Joint & mobility
- Sensitive skin & stomach
- Kidney & renal diets
- Diets targeted to eliminate stress in cats
- Dental care
- Gastrointestinal diets
Nutrition is a vital aspect of your pet's wellbeing and understanding the key components is crucial for their overall health. Nutrition is important for certain life stages and management of certain diseases. Please talk to our team for a tailored diet plan specific to your pets needs.
Understanding and balancing these nutritional elements will contribute to the overall wellbeing of your beloved pet.
Pet Behavioural Advice
At Northern Illawarra Veterinary Hospital, we take a holistic approach to addressing the behavioural needs of our patients. Our multi-modal strategy combines medication and training, always emphasising a fear-free approach for a calming experience. If you have behavioural concerns, reach out to our team to schedule a behaviour consultation. During these sessions, we'll assess your and your pet's lifestyle, addressing specific areas of difficulty.
Outcomes may involve long term medications for anxiety or short term sedatives for stressful occasions. Collaborating with 'Sonia Says Sit,' a local dog training expert, we host puppy pre school at our clinic and refer cases for specialised at home training. With our team and collaborative partnerships, we aim to create a harmonious environment for pets and their owners.
