A Safety-First Pathway to Recovery
At Stone Cottage Veterinary Hospital, we have established a surgical pathway for safe and efficient pet orthopedic surgery so cats can return to sauntering and dogs to fetching. We begin by thoroughly assessing your pet’s condition through an in-depth pet orthopedic consultation. Utilizing advanced digital X-ray equipment and conducting pre-anesthetic bloodwork, we comprehensively understand your pet’s health. This understanding allows our board-certified orthopedic surgeon to create a surgical plan that maximizes the chances of a successful outcome.
Proper recovery from pet orthopedic surgery is as critical as the procedure itself. Our veterinary team will walk you through the road to recovery, but some general tips are:
-
Confinement: Your pet must stay in a confined area such as a crate and should not be off-leash for three months after surgery.
-
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy, including motion exercises, swimming, or other structured movement plans, is strongly recommended. Physical therapy may be necessary to enhance recovery depending on the orthopedic procedure performed.
-
Follow-Up X-rays: For TPLO and TTA procedures, follow-up X-rays are needed three and eight weeks after surgery to check how the bone incision is healing.
-
Recovery Time: Although your pet may start feeling better in three months, it’s important to remember that a full recovery can take anywhere from six months to a full year.
