Veterinary Orthopedics for Dogs and Cats
Veterinary orthopedics deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and surgery of problems in the musculoskeletal system of animals. These conditions may arise from trauma (falls, blows, traffic accidents), degenerative processes (arthritis, dysplasias), congenital deformities, or diseases developing over time.
Symptoms of orthopedic problems often include: limping, stiffness, difficulty rising, limb deformities, pain on touch, or loss of willingness to move.
Most Common Orthopedic Problems in Dogs, Cats, and Other Pets
In young dogs, we often see hip or elbow dysplasia, while in older dogs, joint, cartilage, and spine problems are common. Small breeds may suffer from patellar dislocations, whereas large breeds more frequently develop chronic degenerative changes.
Besides dogs and cats, orthopedic problems also affect other species like rabbits, prone to fractures, or chinchillas that can get injured when jumping. Timely diagnosis and expert intervention are crucial for successful recovery.
Stress-Free Orthopedics – Top Expertise in Novi Sad
We don’t do orthopedics alone – but with the best
At our clinic in Novi Sad, we are aware of the complexity of orthopedic interventions and the importance of having these procedures performed precisely, expertly, and by those who do them daily.
That’s why we are proud to collaborate with a prominent orthopedic surgeon from Belgrade, who, in agreement with our team, comes to our clinic and performs all complex orthopedic surgeries directly here.
This means your pet does not have to travel, change environments, or be exposed to additional stress — all examinations, preparations, procedures, and recovery can be organized in a familiar place, with people you already trust.
Thanks to this cooperation, at our clinic we successfully perform:
- surgical fracture management (plates, screws, external fixation)
- reconstructive joint surgeries
- interventions for dysplasia
- patellar and ligament dislocations
- corrective procedures for deformities
All surgeries are performed under controlled, safe anesthesia and with postoperative care tailored to each patient. Our team monitors the entire process — from the first consultation, through surgery, to follow-up and rehabilitation.
