Orthopedic Surgery for Pets
At Cave Springs Pet Hospital, we understand how important mobility is to your pet’s quality of life. Whether your dog is suddenly limping or your cat has suffered an injury, orthopedic issues can greatly impact comfort, behavior, and long-term health. That’s why we’re proud to partner with orthopedic specialists to offer advanced orthopedic surgery services to diagnose and treat bone, joint, and ligament conditions in dogs and cats.
To provide these services with the highest level of expertise, we schedule a traveling board-certified surgeon to come directly to our clinic and perform procedures onsite. This allows your pet to receive specialized care in a familiar and trusted environment.
Our team works closely with pet owners to ensure compassionate care before, during, and after surgery—because your pet’s comfort and recovery are our top priority. Book your appointment today to learn more!
Conditions We Treat
Orthopedic problems can stem from injury, age-related wear, or congenital conditions. Common issues we treat include:
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Injuries
One of the most common orthopedic injuries in dogs, similar to ACL tears in humans. - Patellar Luxation
A kneecap that slips out of place, often seen in small-breed dogs. - Fractures and Trauma-Related Injuries
We stabilize and repair broken bones with surgical precision. - Hip Dysplasia
A genetic condition affecting the hip joint, which may require surgical correction. - Osteoarthritis and Degenerative Joint Disease
We offer both surgical and non-surgical solutions to reduce pain and improve mobility.
What to Expect
Every orthopedic case begins with a thorough physical exam, digital X-rays, and consultation with your veterinarian to determine the best course of treatment. If surgery is recommended:
- Pre-Surgical Assessment
Your pet will undergo lab work and diagnostic imaging to ensure they are healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery. - Surgical Procedure
Our experienced veterinary team uses modern techniques and sterile protocols to ensure a safe, successful operation. - Post-Operative Care & Recovery
We’ll provide a tailored recovery plan including pain management, rehabilitation recommendations, and follow-up visits to monitor healing.
Orthopedic surgery can be a life-changing procedure, restoring comfort and function so your pet can enjoy an active, happy life. If you’ve noticed signs of lameness, limping, stiffness, or pain, don’t wait—early intervention is key.
