Orthopedic Surgery in Boerne, TX

Welcome to Boerne Veterinary Clinic, where our experienced veterinary team provides advanced orthopedic surgery for pets in Boerne and surrounding communities.

Understanding Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery addresses injuries and conditions affecting your pet’s bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. These procedures can help restore mobility, relieve pain, and improve your pet’s quality of life. Common issues include fractures, joint dislocations, cruciate ligament tears, hip dysplasia, and patellar luxation. Our veterinary professionals utilize advanced diagnostics and surgical techniques to ensure each pet receives tailored care. Timely intervention is vital; untreated orthopedic problems can lead to chronic pain and long-term disability. By choosing orthopedic surgery in Boerne, you give your pet the best chance at a healthy, active future. Whether your companion is recovering from trauma or dealing with a congenital condition, our team is here to guide you through every step of the process. We’re committed to compassionate, high-quality care that gets your pet back on their feet.

What to Expect During Orthopedic Surgery

Our goal is to make the orthopedic surgery process clear and comfortable for both you and your pet. Here’s what you can expect at Boerne Veterinary Clinic.

Comprehensive Evaluation and Diagnosis

Every orthopedic case begins with a thorough examination. Our veterinarians use digital radiology and, when needed, ultrasound to accurately diagnose your pet’s condition. We’ll discuss all findings with you, answer your questions, and outline the best treatment options for your pet’s specific needs.

Personalized Surgical Planning

Once a diagnosis is confirmed, our veterinary team develops a customized surgical plan. We consider your pet’s age, activity level, and overall health. Dr. Angeline Arreola, whose passion for surgery and internal medicine guides our approach, ensures every detail is tailored for your pet’s safety and optimal outcome.

Advanced Surgical Techniques and Pain Management

Our clinic is equipped with advanced tools, including Sonequence Electrocautery, to minimize tissue trauma and bleeding. Your pet will receive comprehensive pain management before, during, and after surgery. We prioritize your pet’s comfort at every stage of care.

Post-Operative Care and Rehabilitation Guidance

After surgery, our veterinary professionals provide clear instructions for at-home care and recovery. We’ll schedule follow-up visits to monitor healing and adjust any treatment as needed. Our team is always available to support you and your pet during the recovery process.

Why Orthopedic Surgery is Important for Your Pet

Orthopedic conditions can limit your pet’s ability to move, play, and enjoy life. Prompt, expert surgical care helps restore function, relieves pain, and prevents further complications. Our veterinary team provides advanced orthopedic surgery in Boerne to help your pet regain mobility and comfort.

Restores Mobility

Orthopedic surgery can correct injuries and deformities that hinder your pet’s movement. After recovery, many pets return to their normal activities, from walks to playtime.

Reduces Pain and Discomfort

Chronic pain from joint or bone issues can affect your pet’s mood and overall health. Surgical intervention removes the source of pain and helps pets feel like themselves again.

Prevents Long-Term Complications

Addressing orthopedic problems early can prevent arthritis, muscle loss, and permanent disability. Our team’s proactive care supports a longer, healthier life for your companion.

Signs Your Pet May Need Orthopedic Surgery

Some signs of orthopedic issues are easy to miss. Watch for these indicators and contact our clinic if you notice any of the following:

• Limping or favoring one leg
• Stiffness after rest or exercise
• Difficulty rising, jumping, or climbing stairs
• Swelling or heat in a limb or joint
• Reluctance to play or decreased activity

If you observe these symptoms, schedule an evaluation promptly. Early diagnosis and treatment can make a significant difference in your pet’s recovery and long-term comfort.

How Often Should Your Pet Receive Orthopedic Evaluations?

There is no set schedule for orthopedic surgery; instead, evaluations are recommended whenever you notice changes in your pet’s gait, activity, or comfort. Senior pets and active breeds may benefit from annual orthopedic screenings. If your pet has suffered an injury or shows signs of pain, contact Boerne Veterinary Clinic immediately for an assessment. Our team will recommend appropriate diagnostics and, if needed, discuss surgical options to restore your pet’s mobility. Regular check-ups help catch issues early and keep your pet healthy.
