Orthopedic Surgery

We offer surgical services for a variety of orthopedic medical issues including, but not limited to, cruciate disease, medially luxating patella, fractures, hip dysplasia, digit removal, and amputation.  Most orthopedic procedures will stay overnight at Ruckersville Animal Hospital so they can receive additional treatments the morning following the surgery including post-operative rechecks, bandage removals and laser treatments.  This can also ensure that their post-operative pain is well controlled prior to their discharge from the hospital.

We also provide non-invasive, sedated orthopedic radiographs for OFA hips/elbow certification for dogs that are to be bred.  These radiographs, along with the appropriate paperwork are digitally sent directly to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals and once the process is complete, the grading results are sent to the owner.
