Surgery for Pets
Helping Your Pet Regain Comfort and Mobility
Joint and bone issues can impact a pet’s quality of life.
Companion Care Animal Hospital offers care in the area of orthopedic surgery for pets in Wheatfield, NY. We provide veterinary surgical options for both acute injuries and chronic orthopedic conditions. If your pet has suffered a ligament tear or is living with a long-term joint issue, our team wants to make sure they have access to advanced orthopedic surgical care when needed.
What Makes Pet Orthopedic Surgery Different?
Orthopedic surgery for pets focuses on the bones, joints, ligaments, and soft tissue structures that support movement and stability. These types of surgeries are often needed to address:
- Congenital deformities or joint instability
- Traumatic injuries such as fractures or ligament tears
- Chronic pain from conditions like hip dysplasia or arthritis
- Progressive lameness and reduced mobility
If your pet is limping, avoiding activity, or showing signs of discomfort when moving, our veterinary team can assess their condition and determine whether orthopedic intervention is necessary.
Orthopedic Procedures Performed for Pets
Companion Care Animal Hospital has options for orthopedic surgeries.
While not all are performed in-house, our veterinarians work closely with specialty surgeons to make sure your pet gets the care they need. Common orthopedic surgeries we coordinate or provide include:
- FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) \ Hip Dysplasia
- Patella Luxation
- Amputation
- ACL Repair
ACL Injuries in Dogs (Cranial Cruciate Ligament)
The ACL, which for dogs is called the cranial cruciate ligament or CCL, stabilizes your canine companion’s knee. When this ligament is torn or damaged, it often leads to limping, pain, and reduced activity. Dog ACL injuries typically require surgical intervention to restore joint function and prevent further damage. Our team can evaluate your pet’s condition and discuss the appropriate next steps for treatment, which may include a canine ACL repair.
Surgical Collaboration with Veterinary Specialists
Some complex orthopedic surgeries are best performed by a board-certified veterinary orthopedic surgeon or with the assistance of a consultant. Dr. Kathleen E. Collins, a specialty surgical consultant, collaborates with Companion Care Animal Hospital for some of our orthopedic surgical services when needed.
If your pet requires a procedure beyond our in-house capabilities, we may refer you to a trusted local veterinary surgeon. Our goal is always to make sure your pet receives the highest level of care, whether it’s here at our animal hospital or through our extended network of partners.
