Orthopedic Surgery at Heartland Veterinary Hospital
Orthopedic conditions can affect your pet's mobility, comfort, and quality of life. Whether your dog or cat is limping, struggling to rise, or showing signs of joint pain, getting an accurate diagnosis and the right treatment plan is essential.
Did you know that cranial cruciate ligament disease is diagnosed in approximately 80% of hind limb lameness cases? This common injury can cause significant pain and lead to arthritis if left untreated. But with the right surgical intervention, many pets return to comfortable, active lives.
