Virág’s background story

Virág is a Yorkshire terrier who spent her days at a shelter (hosted by Állat és Ember Állatvédő Egyesület \[“Animal and Human” Animal Protection Association]). She could not use her left hind leg due to a congenital disorder. Doctor Seregi, one of the owners of FuzioVet Animal Hospital, was the orthopaedist at the shelter.

“Earlier it was simply unimaginable that physiotherapy can be started with so much prospect.” - interview with Luca Rostás

The innovations at LimesVet can only achieve their goal together with appropriate rehabilitation, so we closely cooperate with physiotherapy experts as well. Luca Rostás, small animal physiotherapist and the CEO of Ebfizio, has helped many of our patients recover. It is also characteristic of her field that many innovations are transferred from human medicine to the treatment of small animals. According to her, the main direction is a non-coercive, cooperative, personalized and holistic approach to physiotherapy, which considers and treats the body and the problem as a whole.

The TROCA 55 trochlear cap system - Customised trochlear cap by LimesVet

One of the most frequent orthopaedic deformation in small dogs is the dislocation of the patella. Patellar luxation is often a congenital, inherited disorder but it can also be caused by a trauma or an accident. With the help of 3D design and printing, we have created an implant which is considered exceptional worldwide. It is uniquely designed and manufactured for the femur of the given animal. We deliver this product together with anatomical models and surgical drilling guides.
