A vet orthopedic exam is when we check your pet's muscles, bones, joints, and other parts of their limbs and spine. It helps us find out if your pet has any problems with their movement or walking, that could mean they have a bone or joint disease.
You need an appointment so that one of our vets can check your pet and confirm your pet's health status. We will look at your pet's injury, trauma, or mobility history, including where/how long problems happen. We'll touch joints and limbs to check for pain, looseness, swelling, heat, and range of motion.
We'll watch how your pet walks to see any limping, compensation, or trouble standing. We may suggest more tests like x-rays, MRI, or CT scan to look at bone/joint structures for damage, breaks, dislocations, or other problems. With an accurate diagnosis, we can give you personalized treatment from joint supplements to braces, rehab to surgery
Finding out the exact bone and joint problem through a skilled exam and tests is key for the right treatment to make your pet comfortable and able to move. Early diagnosis of many orthopedic problems leads to better results before things get worse and can't be fixed.
We help avoid getting worse to arthritis, deformity, and loss of movement through proper care. Your buddy can keep active healthy joints through every life stage. Fix movement problems for your furry friend. Contact Vets ASAP today to get expert vet orthopedic care.
