Pet Orthopedic Surgery: Helping Pets Get Back on Their Feet
Mobility is essential for pets to live healthy, joyful lives. At Stitches Veterinary Surgery in Long Beach, we understand how heartbreaking it is to see your cat or dog limping, hesitant to run, or unable to enjoy daily activities. Orthopedic problems can affect any pet, young or old—but with advanced veterinary orthopedic surgery, we can restore comfort, mobility, and quality of life.
Understanding Orthopedic Problems in Pets
Common conditions like torn ligaments (such as cranial cruciate ligament ruptures), fractures, luxating patellas, or hip dysplasia are leading reasons pets need orthopedic intervention. These issues can develop gradually or result suddenly from injury or strenuous play.
Early signs of orthopedic trouble include:
Limping or favoring one limb
Difficulty standing, jumping, or climbing stairs
Reluctance to run, play, or go for walks
Swelling, stiffness, or visible deformity of a joint
If you notice any of these symptoms, don’t delay—prompt evaluation leads to better outcomes.
