About Fachtierarztzentrum Dr. Tack

The Fachtierarztzentrum Dr. Tack in Landegg, municipality of Pottendorf, is a small-animal clinic specialising in surgery for dogs and cats. Many patients are referred by their regular vet, but pet owners can also make an appointment directly.

What the centre offers

According to the website, the former Tierklinik Landegg has existed since 1988 and was rebuilt in 2013 as a referral centre. The specialist areas:

• Orthopaedic surgery: knees, including cruciate ligament and kneecap, hips, including hip dysplasia (HD) and pelvic osteotomy, fractures and malalignments. According to the centre, it has treated cruciate ligament ruptures since 1999 with TPLO, an operation that realigns the head of the tibia. With the Micro and Nano Hip System, even very small dogs and cats can receive an artificial hip joint.
• Neurosurgery: operations for diseases of the central nervous system, i.e. brain and spinal cord, and of the peripheral nerves.
• Soft tissue and minimally invasive surgery: general operations as well as laparoscopy, thoracoscopy and arthroscopy, i.e. procedures in the abdomen, chest or joint through small incisions.
• Imaging: CT (Canon Aquilion Lightning SP), digital X-ray, ultrasound and endoscopy, plus an in-house laboratory.
• Surgical planning: in complex cases, 3D models are created from CT data and implants are planned for the individual animal. The centre's own company TACKTEC develops and manufactures surgical implants.
• Other specialist areas: preventive care with vaccinations and senior check-ups, early detection of HD and elbow dysplasia (ED) in young dogs, dentistry, ophthalmology, internal medicine, cardiology, dermatology and physiotherapy after operations.
