Orthopedics

Pets can develop orthopedic issues due to age, injury, or genetics. Some conditions, like arthritis and hip dysplasia, progress over time, while others, such as fractures or ligament tears, result from sudden trauma. Identifying these problems early allows for more effective treatment and better long-term outcomes. Our vets will perform a thorough evaluation to determine the best approach to keep your pet mobile and pain-free.

Orthopedic problems can change the way a pet moves and behaves. You may notice your cat or dog limping, stiff when walking, or struggling to stand. Some animals avoid running or jumping, while others react sensitively to touch. Swollen joints or a shift in posture can also signal discomfort. If these signs appear, we can help pinpoint the issue and prevent it from worsening.

Orthopedic treatment is designed to reduce pain and improve mobility. Many pets benefit from medication or physical therapy to manage discomfort and support joint health. In some cases, surgery may be the best option to restore function. Our team tailors each approach to meet your pet’s needs and ensure the best possible outcome.

Detecting orthopedic issues early can make treatment more effective and prevent further damage. Regular checkups allow for early intervention, reducing the risk of more serious complications. Along with veterinary care, proper exercise and a healthy diet help support flexibility and well-being. Taking these steps can keep your companion comfortable and active for years to come.
