What is orthopedic care?

Orthopedic care focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting your pet’s bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, and muscles. These issues can arise from injuries, congenital conditions, or age-related wear and tear. Common orthopedic problems in pets include:

  • Arthritis
  • Hip and elbow dysplasia
  • Cruciate ligament tears
  • Fractures and dislocations
  • Luxating patellas (kneecap dislocation)
  • Spinal issues

Signs Your Pet May Need Orthopedic Care

It is important to recognize the signs of orthopedic problems early so your pet can receive timely treatment. Watch for symptoms like:

  • Limping or lameness
  • Difficulty standing, walking, or climbing stairs
  • Stiffness, especially after rest
  • Reluctance to play or exercise
  • Swelling or tenderness in the joints
  • Behavioral changes, such as irritability or withdrawal

If you notice any of these signs, schedule an appointment with our team for a thorough evaluation.

How We Can Help

At River Grove Animal Hospital, we offer a range of orthopedic services to diagnose and treat your pet’s condition. Our approach includes:

  • Comprehensive Exams: We assess your pet’s mobility, joint health, and overall musculoskeletal condition.
  • Diagnostic Imaging: X-rays and other imaging tools help us pinpoint the cause of your pet’s discomfort.
  • Treatment Plans: Depending on the diagnosis, we may recommend medications, physical therapy, weight management, or surgical intervention.
  • Pain Management: We prioritize your pet’s comfort with effective pain relief options tailored to their needs.

Preventing Orthopedic Issues

While some conditions are unavoidable, you can take steps to support your pet’s orthopedic health. Maintain a healthy weight, provide regular exercise, and ensure your pet has a balanced diet rich in nutrients that support joint health.
