Longview Veterinary Services
Welcome to the Longview Veterinary Services Website. This site will tell you about our approach to chronic pain, acupuncture and behaviour therapy, as well as detailing the referral services provided to the veterinary profession and the care that clients and referring practices can expect.
Animal behaviour problems and chronic pain problems often require ‘a long view’ back into the patient’s history and experiences, and forwards into the future management and the likely progress of the condition.
Although there are occasional quick fixes and miracle cures in this field, we mainly need to follow the philosophy of ‘playing the long game’.
Clients and patients can be assured that, when embarking on a course of therapy, they will receive help for as long as they require it and that all aspects of the patient’s wellbeing will be considered.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Longview Veterinary Services is a referral service only. Owners should contact their own veterinary surgeon in an emergency.
