At Bayside Animal
Hospital, we believe that when it comes to orthopedic problems, your pets
deserve the same care that humans would receive. Owner of the hospital,
William Spofford, DVM, takes special interest in orthopedics and is one of
few doctors who perform orthopedic surgeries in the area. From helping
painful arthritis to surgically repairing a torn cruciate ligament, he and
the other staff and doctors at Bayside aim to help your pets overcome their
orthopedic concerns and improve your pet's health and happiness
Common Orthopedic
Problems:
-
Arthritis
-
Hip Dysplasia
-
Luxating patellas
(Knees)
-
Torn cruciate
ligaments (ACL)
Orthopedic problems are
often associated with older, larger pets but small pets can experience the
same issues. It's important to note any changes in your pets ability to move
around or ability to rise after laying down for a long period of time. The
sooner the injury is diagnosed, the better chance that the injury can be
corrected or assisted.
Like any other medical
condition, please notify the hospital right away if your pet is experiencing
any of these symptoms.
