Comprehensive Orthopedic Care

From Diagnosis Through Surgery and Recovery

Before recommending surgery, we conduct thorough orthopedic examinations and take digital X-rays to obtain a clear picture of the affected area. These diagnostics help us understand the exact nature of the problem and plan the most appropriate surgical approach. We also perform a physical exam and may recommend bloodwork prior to surgery to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to safely undergo anesthesia.

Proper rehabilitation is essential following your pet’s orthopedic procedure. We’ll provide detailed instructions for post-operative care, which may include activity restrictions, pain management, and physical therapy exercises. With proper care, most pets show significant improvement in comfort and function within weeks of surgery. Depending on the specific procedure, progress may continue over several months.

We schedule regular follow-up appointments to monitor healing, assess progress, and adjust pain management as needed. Together, we can ensure a smooth recovery for your four-legged best friend.
