About Orthopedic Pet Surgery

Orthopedic surgery is designed to treat musculoskeletal issues and injuries that keep pets from enjoying full mobility. A vet on our team might recommend surgery to repair fractures and ACL tears, correct joint problems and reduce the pain and discomfort of degenerative joint conditions so your pet can move about freely without discomfort or pain. As your pet ages, he may develop a joint disorder like hip dysplasia that restricts his functionality and mobility. Orthopedic surgery can correct these issues to help restore your pet’s quality of life.

Signs Your Pet May Need Orthopedic Surgery

The following are some signs that your pet may be developing musculoskeletal issues that require orthopedic surgery for treatment:  

  • Persistent limping that doesn’t get better with rest or medication
  • Loss of interest in walking or playing due to painful movements  
  • Avoiding the use of stairs
  • Slower movements than normal
  • Trouble standing or sitting for extended periods of time
  • Difficulty rising after lying down

An evaluation by our Cave Creek, AZ, veterinarian can determine if surgery is a viable option for your pet.

Benefits of Orthopedic Pet Surgery

Musculoskeletal disorders and injuries can be devastating for an active pet. Not only do they limit your pet’s mobility, they can be extremely painful. Orthopedic pet surgery can help relieve your pet’s pain, repair the damage caused by his condition and restore his functionality and health. Surgical intervention can even protect your pet from degeneration or injury in the future.

The objective of having surgery is to give your pet a higher quality of life. After surgery, your pet can look forward to pain relief, better mobility, improved health and a stronger physique. Pet surgery gives your pet the opportunity to live a full and active lifestyle with no pain or discomfort to hold him back.

Depending on your pet’s age, health and treatment, it may take several months for him to fully recover from orthopedic surgical treatment. A Cave Creek, AZ, vet on our team will monitor your pet’s recovery to ensure he’s recuperating nicely and no complications arise.
