Bone fractures are a very common orthopedic problem in cats and dogs. In most situations, these occur as a result of trauma but may occur as a result of unknown injury or because of inherent orthopedic disease. Many simple fractures can be stabilized and heal properly with splints or casts being applied. More serious or complex fractures often require more involved orthopedic surgery with various techniques being utilized.

Be assured, if your pet has orthopedic disease or has suffered an orthopedic injury, our hospital will facilitate appropriate treatment and develop a comprehensive plan for rehabilitation and physiotherapy to aid your pet’s recovery and reduce the long term potential complications related to the disease or injury.
