Physiotherapy is a relatively recent addition to the services a veterinary practice can refer to, and many vets may be unfamiliar with the range of skills a qualified veterinary physiotherapist can offer, particularly for small animals. To ensure a more satisfactory outcome for your patients, early referral is always more beneficial, and will compliment other veterinary treatments that may be on-going.
