Orthopedic Surgeries Offered for Cats and Dogs

Orthopedic issues can affect your pet’s ability to walk, run, or even rest comfortably. Dr. Walia performs several orthopedic pet surgeries to treat broken bones, joint disorders, and other skeletal concerns. Common procedures at Affordable Animal Hospital include:

If your pet needs a procedure that isn’t listed, just give us a call. Our veterinary team can determine whether we can perform the specific orthopedic surgery in-house at our veterinary clinic. Dr. Walia is also capable of providing many soft-tissue surgeries for cats and dogs.

A Custom Approach to Cranial Cruciate Ligament Surgery

One of the most common orthopedic problems in pets is a torn cranial cruciate ligament (CCL), which is similar to an ACL injury in humans. Most often, a ruptured or damaged CCL occurs in dogs. This ligament stabilizes your pet’s knee, and when it tears, walking becomes painful and difficult.

Dr. Walia has developed his own approach to cruciate repair based on his extensive surgical background. He carefully evaluates each pet’s size, age, and condition to determine the best way to restore mobility and relieve pain without unnecessary expense.

What to Expect When Your Pet is Recovering from Surgery

Orthopedic procedures often involve longer recovery times than soft-tissue surgeries. After surgery, your pet may need to rest for several weeks (or even months), limit activity, and use medications to control swelling and discomfort. Dr. Walia will go over all aftercare instructions with you and create a plan to fit your pet’s condition and your home routine. There may be exercises that your pet can perform at home, or you may be referred to a rehabilitation specialist, depending on your companion’s surgery.

In most cases, pets can regain function and enjoy a more active life after surgery with proper recovery support. Our team is here to answer questions, offer guidance, and make the healing process smooth and easy.
