What Medical Conditions Can Orthopedic Surgery Correct?
When your animal companion needs orthopedic care, consider contacting Dr. Guirges to find out if orthopedic surgery is a treatment option. You might be surprised to learn about the many medical conditions that can be corrected or improved through this technologically advanced treatment option. These include:
Certain Congenital Conditions
Congenital conditions entail any condition that your pet was born with. Often, congenital conditions aren’t evident until the animal grows into adulthood. It is then that the condition may cause serious lifestyle and health problems, such as digestive problems relating to spine malformation and more.
Hip Dysplasia
Hip dysplasia is a condition that is very common in certain breeds of dogs, including German Shepherds. Orthopedic surgery can correct this situation.
Fractures and Breaks
If your animal companion suffers any kind of fracture or break from an accident or other injury, it’s essential to get them to your veterinarian as soon as possible. The sooner orthopedic surgery can be performed, the better the outcome.
Rupture of Ligaments
Rupture of ligaments can cause your furry loved one to become lame. When this type of injury occurs in both legs, the level of lameness can be devastating, impacting your pet’s emotional well-being and overall physical health. Fortunately, orthopedic surgery solutions can correct the problem.
Types of Soft Tissue Surgeries Available
Soft tissue surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures that address conditions unrelated to the bones or joints. These surgeries can involve various parts of the body, including the ear, nose, throat, skin, internal organs, and reproductive system. At Baseline Animal Hospital, we are proud to offer comprehensive soft tissue surgical services aimed at improving the health, comfort, and overall well-being of your pet.
Whether your pet requires a routine procedure or a more specialized surgery, our team is here to provide the highest level of care. We combine compassionate service with advanced surgical techniques to ensure your pet receives the best possible treatment.
Common Types of Soft Tissue Surgeries
We offer a wide range of soft tissue surgeries tailored to meet the unique needs of your pet. Below are some of the most common procedures performed by our skilled veterinary team:
- Spay or Neuter: These routine surgeries are essential for population control and can provide significant health benefits, such as reducing the risk of certain cancers and behavioral issues.
- C-Section (Cesarean Section): When complications arise during labor, a C-section ensures the safe delivery of puppies or kittens while protecting the health of the mother.
- Mass Removal: Our team can surgically remove growths, lumps, or tumors, whether they are benign or malignant, to improve your pet’s comfort and overall health.
- Bladder Stone Removal: Bladder stones can cause pain, infections, and urinary blockages. Surgical removal restores normal bladder function and relieves discomfort.
- Abscess Repair: Abscesses, often caused by infections or injuries, can lead to swelling, pain, and other complications. Surgical drainage and cleaning help promote healing and prevent further issues.
- Hematoma Repair: Hematomas, which are localized blood collections under the skin, are often caused by trauma (such as ear injuries). Surgical repair helps relieve pressure and restores the affected area.
- Laceration Repair: From minor cuts to deep wounds, our team provides expert care to ensure proper healing and minimize scarring.
- Eyelid Surgery: Conditions such as entropion (inward-rolling eyelid), ectropion (outward-rolling eyelid), and cherry eye (prolapsed third eyelid gland) can cause discomfort and vision issues. Corrective surgery restores normal function and improves your pet’s quality of life.
