Orthopaedic Care & Mobility

Orthopaedics

Helping them move better, feel better, live better.

Orthopedics focuses on conditions affecting your pet’s musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Injuries in these areas can significantly impact your pet’s comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life.

You might notice subtle signs such as limping, reluctance to jump or play, difficulty getting up, or other changes that suggest discomfort. The good news is that there are many effective treatment options available, and Red Deer Vet is dedicated to finding the right approach for your pet.

If you think your pet may be in pain, our team will perform a thorough assessment and diagnostic testing to identify the cause. We take into account factors like your pet’s age, breed, size, overall health, and the severity of the condition to create a tailored treatment plan. Options may include anti-inflammatory or pain-relief medications, nutritional supplements, referral for rehabilitation therapy or orthopaedic surgery.
