What types of orthopedic problems should I watch out for in my pet?

Please keep in mind that no matter how much care you take, pets are naturally curious and active creatures. They can accidentally injure themselves despite your best efforts. Some pets – especially those of a particular age, breed, weight and size – are also more genetically prone to certain conditions. The most common cases we treat here at our hospital are: 

  • Sprains, breaks and fractures
  • Arthritis 
  • Elbow dysplasia 
  • Hip dysplasia

How do I know if my pet has an orthopedic problem?

It’s always a good idea to be on the lookout for any changes in your pet’s behaviour and appearance not just for orthopedic purposes, but for their overall wellbeing. Don’t hesitate to give us a call if you notice one or a few of the following in your pet: 

  • Sudden weight loss or weight gain 
  • Irritability or aggression 
  • Wincing when getting up or lying down
  • Limping 
  • Stiffness 
  • Swollen joints 
  • Difficulty running, walking, going up/down stairs.
