SPECIALIST CARE, RIGHT HERE AT KARALEE KARANA VETERINARY SURGERY

Expertise You Can Trust, In a Clinic Your Pet Already Knows

At Karalee Karana Veterinary Surgery, we’re proud to manage the vast majority of your pet’s health needs right here in our clinic. However, some cases may benefit from the skills of a specialist — particularly when it comes to complex surgeries or advanced diagnostics.

Rather than referring you to another practice, we make things easier for both you and your pet by bringing trusted veterinary specialists to our clinic. This allows your pet to receive gold-standard care in a familiar, low-stress environment, alongside our team who already knows and understands them

Modern Facilities. Expert Hands.

Orthopaedic Surgery with Dr Sue Gibbons

Advanced surgical care from one of Queensland’s most respected specialists

We are fortunate to work closely with Dr Sue Gibbons BVSc FANZCVS, a registered specialist in small animal surgery. With decades of experience in complex orthopaedic procedures, Dr Gibbons offers exceptional care to pets in need of advanced surgical treatment.

After graduating from the University of Queensland and completing a specialist residency in small animal surgery, Dr Gibbons became a Fellow of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists. Her areas of expertise include:

  • Orthopaedic surgery
  • Joint stabilisation
  • Arthroscopy
  • Complex fracture repair

Dr Gibbons operates as part of a successful mobile surgical service, bringing her skill and precision directly to our clinic — so your pet doesn’t have to travel far to receive the care they need.

Specialist Ultrasound Services

Precise diagnostics without the added stress of travel

While our in-house team is well-versed in performing and interpreting ultrasounds, some complex cases require a higher level of diagnostic detail. For these situations, we partner with experienced mobile veterinary sonographers who specialise in advanced ultrasound imaging.

Depending on your pet’s condition, we’ll arrange for the most appropriate ultrasound expert to assess them onsite at Karalee. This not only streamlines your pet’s care but ensures continuity of treatment and reduces unnecessary stress — especially helpful for nervous pets or those with mobility issues.

Seamless Collaboration, Compassionate Care

Our visiting specialists work closely with our in-clinic team, ensuring a smooth and well-communicated care experience. From the initial assessment through to surgery or treatment follow-up, we’re here to guide you at every step — so you always know what’s happening and why.

If your pet requires specialist attention, rest assured they’ll receive the highest standard of care, right here at Karalee Karana Veterinary Surgery.
