 What Is Veterinary Orthopedic Care?

Orthopedics is a specialized field in veterinary medicine that revolves around diagnosing and treating bone, joint, and spine disorders in animals. These hard structures play a vital role in enabling normal movement, and any problems in these areas can significantly impact your pet's mobility and quality of life. Fortunately, orthopedic surgery offers effective solutions to restore normal function, allowing your furry companion to enjoy an active and healthy life once again.

Common Orthopedic Conditions in Pets
 

In animals, when a bone fracture occurs, it may require surgical intervention for proper healing and alignment. Fractures can happen due to accidents, falls, or injuries, and addressing them surgically is crucial to ensure that the affected bone heals correctly, allowing your pet to regain full functionality and mobility.

Arthritis, on the other hand, is a degenerative condition that affects the joints, leading to the gradual breakdown of cartilage and bones. As arthritis progresses, it can severely impair your pet's ability to move comfortably, causing pain and stiffness. In some cases, surgical procedures may be recommended to alleviate the symptoms and improve the joint's function, providing your furry friend with a better quality of life.

Active dogs are prone to experiencing cruciate ligament tears, which can be debilitating and painful. The cruciate ligaments are vital for the stability and strength of the knee joint, and when torn, they require surgical repair to restore proper joint function and prevent long-term complications.

Furthermore, certain small breeds of dogs may have issues with their patellas, commonly known as kneecaps. In some cases, these kneecaps can subluxate, or move out of their normal position, causing discomfort and difficulty in movement. For such cases, surgical intervention is often necessary to correct the subluxation and facilitate normal, pain-free movement for your furry companion.

Diagnosing Orthopedic Problems
 

During your visit, the veterinarian will conduct a comprehensive examination of your pet, carefully observing its gait and looking for any indications of discomfort. In addition, blood tests may be conducted to identify any underlying conditions that could be contributing to orthopedic problems. X-rays and ultrasound tests will be used to visualize the internal structures of the bones and joints, enabling the vet to detect any abnormalities. 

Furthermore, the veterinarian may perform blood tests to identify any potential underlying diseases that could be affecting your pet's mobility. These thorough assessments aid in providing the best possible care and treatment for your furry companion's orthopedic concerns.

Brighter Veterinary Center Can Provide Surgery For Orthopedic Problems

A range of orthopedic surgical procedures are available to restore pets' full mobility. Simple procedures to stabilize the patella can significantly improve dogs' comfort while walking. Cruciate ligament repair can effectively eliminate pain and limping. Disc surgery is beneficial in facilitating normal movement. However, the time required for full recovery from these surgeries can vary. In some instances, physical therapy may be necessary after surgery to ensure complete restoration of mobility.
