Orthopedic Care for Dogs and Cats

For issues affecting your pet’s skeleton, joints and surrounding tissues like muscles, ligaments and tendons, Woodland Springs Veterinary Hospital offers advanced veterinary orthopedic care. Our main objective with orthopedic care is to diminish pain and restore mobility. Veterinary orthopedic problems stem from multiple causes. Some issues are congenital, meaning pets are born with them, while others occur over time during pets’ growth and development. Some pets may even have genetic predispositions to certain veterinary orthopedic issues like hip dysplasia and arthritis. Other orthopedic afflictions pets commonly endure include bone fractures, bruising and stretched or torn soft tissues from trauma like car accidents, rough play and falls.

If your pet is dealing with an orthopedic affliction, he or she may show the following symptoms in degrees ranging from subtle to severe:

Difficulty jumping up or down
General weakness
Laziness and/or sluggishness
Withdrawal
Aggression
Change in personality
