Here at Wilston Vet we are able to provide your pet with both routine as well as advanced surgical care. If we have a complex surgical case, we enlist the skills of itinerant surgeon Dr Lynn Minhinnet. Extremely complex cases such as spinal surgery are referred to Queensland Specialist Surgeons at Stafford.

Species: Canine
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Sex: Female – Speyed
Age: 10y 2m
Current Weight: 18.1kgs
History: Stella has been a patient at Wilston Vet since she was a wee puppy! Watching her grow up from a 9wk old puppy into the active and affectionate 10yr old dog she is today has been a wonderful journey. Recently, Stella became lame on her right hind leg. Given her age and very active nature, Dr Kate suspected that she had some arthritis or an acute soft tissue injury (such as a muscle or ligament tear or strain). Stella was started on anti-inflammatory and pain relief medication. However, her lameness persisted so Dr Kate decided to perform x-rays and manipulations of her leg under anaesthesia.
