When you hear that your pet may need to undergo orthopedic surgery, it's normal to feel a little scared. Your pet is a family member, and this can make the idea of surgery sound frightening. When you trust your dogs and cats with a vet you trust, this does not have to be the case.
We at Pet Vet serve Steinbach, Manitoba, Canada, offering pet surgery. If your pet requires orthopedic surgery, here's how we can help.
Orthopedic Injuries
A variety of injuries, including those that pets are born with, can be treated with orthopedic surgery. Surgery benefits both cats and dogs who experience skeletal injuries. If you are unsure what kind of treatment would benefit your pet, it is important to speak with a vet at our clinic to learn more.
Fractures may require bone plates and pins. Your pet may experience a fracture or a broken bone after a fall, car accident, or another physical injury. If your pet has a fracture, you may find that surgery offers the best way for your pet to heal completely without as many long-term repercussions.
Orthopedic surgery techniques can be used to repair ACL injuries. These injuries can impact your pet's ability to walk now and in the future. The sooner your pet gets treatment, the more likely it is that you can avoid a more difficult procedure in the future. Recovery and physical therapy can allow your pet to heal more smoothly.
Other pet injuries may stem from conditions your pet is born with. For instance, your pet could have a congenital back issue that requires surgery to correct. Treatment may provide your pet with an optimal outcome as well as a long, healthy life.
Pre & Post-Exams
Of course, a vet on our team does much more than provide surgery. A veterinarian on our team will also ensure that your pet is as healthy as possible before and after the procedure. Pre-surgery exams ensure that your pet is healthy enough to be placed under anesthesia and undergo surgery. Post-surgery exams help your pet get back on the road to recovery once the surgery is complete. Your pet's progress will be monitored to ensure additional surgery is not necessary.
