Furthermore, we have in-house progesterone testing for the timing of mating/insemination, with results in about 20 minutes.

Advanced Orthopaedic Surgery

Port Macquarie Veterinary Hospital is one of the only veterinary practices in the region to deliver advanced orthopaedic veterinary surgery.

Orthopaedic Surgery involves the correction of injuries and disease of bones and joints, such as fractures and torn ligaments.

Dr Chris Livingston BVSc (Hons), DVCS, MANZCVS (Small Animal Surgery) has a special interest in fracture repair and cruciate ligament disease. He is a member of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists in Small Animal Surgery.

Dr Chris is happy to provide you with quality surgical services right here in Port Macquarie so you don't need to be referred to Sydney or Brisbane for specialist treatment of your pet's injuries. Some of the advanced orthopaedic procedures that he regularly performs are cruciate repairs, difficult fracture repairs and thoracotomy procedures.
