Specialized Services Dedicated to Your Pet’s Orthopedic Well-Being
It's never easy to see our pets struggling with pain or mobility challenges. Whether it's a once-playful dog limping or a usually agile cat showing signs of discomfort, orthopedic issues can severely affect their quality of life. At Veterinary Specialty Center of Stillwater (VSCS), we're dedicated to helping your beloved pet enjoy an active and pain-free life.
Why Choose VSCS for Orthopedic Care?
Patients experience a variety of orthopedic conditions that can leave them debilitated, in pain, or unable to walk. Every pet's condition is unique, requiring an individualized approach to diagnosis and treatment. VSCS is equipped and prepared to evaluate, diagnose, and address many of these issues.
Our approach involves:
- Thorough Evaluation: Our first step is a complete physical examination to help ensure an accurate diagnosis of your pet’s condition.
- State-of-the-Art Diagnostic Tools: We use cutting-edge diagnostic imaging modalities, such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT), to precisely determine the extent of an orthopedic issue.
- Intraoperative Imaging: Our use of fluoroscopy (intraoperative video imaging) augments our surgical repair techniques, especially for conditions such as fracture fixation.
