&geometry(146x146) "Narangba Veterinary Clinic")
We are committed to providing the highest standard of care for every pet. While many conditions can be managed within our clinic, some cases benefit from the expertise of a veterinary specialist. When this is needed, we will guide you through the referral process and ensure your pet receives the most appropriate level of care.
SPECIALIST REFERRALS
AT NARANGBA VET
WHEN A REFERRAL MAY BE RECOMMENDED
Your veterinarian may suggest referral to a specialist for conditions that require advanced diagnostics, specialised equipment, or highly focused expertise. This may include:
Complex orthopaedic or soft tissue surgery
Advanced medical cases
Neurological conditions
Cardiology
Dermatology
Ophthalmology
Oncology
Behavioural concerns
Advanced imaging, such as CT or MRI
We make recommendations based on what is best for your pet’s health, comfort, and long-term well-being.
HOW THE REFERRAL PROCESS WORKS
We will discuss the reasons for referral in detail and answer any questions you may have. Our team will:
Provide a full summary of your pet’s medical history
Share test results, radiographs, and relevant notes with the specialist
Help you arrange an appointment
Stay in communication with the specialist throughout the process
Once your pet has been seen by the specialist, we continue to work closely with them to coordinate ongoing care and follow-up treatment.
WORKING TOGETHER FOR THE BEST OUTCOME
Specialists often work as an extension of our team. By combining our general practice care with their focused expertise, we ensure your pet receives comprehensive and informed treatment. Your pet returns to us for ongoing management unless the specialist recommends continued visits.
