What are some orthopedic conditions in cats and dogs?

Certain orthopedic conditions may be more likely to develop in pets based on factors such as their age, breed, and overall health. Some examples of common orthopedic conditions include:

  • Arthritis
  • Hip and elbow dysplasia
  • Osteochondritis dissecans
  • Patellar luxation
  • Fractures
  • Cruciate ligament injuries
  • Intervertebral disc disease

When is orthopedic surgery recommended?

When a pet suffers from orthopedic problems, it affects their musculoskeletal system, which comprises joints, bones, tendons, and ligaments. This system plays a vital role in supporting their weight, posture, and movement. Orthopedic problems can cause the following symptoms in pets:

  • Reluctance to move, jump, or be active
  • Reduced mobility
