Understanding Spinal Conditions

Spinal conditions can significantly impair your dog’s ability to lead a happy and active life. Common ailments like intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), spinal stenosis, and vertebral fractures not only cause pain but also affect mobility and may lead to more severe neurological issues. Early detection and intervention are critical to avoiding further complications. We approach each case with sensitivity and an understanding of the challenges faced by affected pets and their families.

The role of veterinary spinal surgery is to restore your pet’s health and happiness. The goals of such surgeries are to provide pain relief, enhance mobility, and prevent further damage to the spine. Our skilled veterinary surgeons use precision and care in every procedure, focusing on improving your dog’s quality of life. We also support your pet through their recovery journey with comprehensive post-operative care, ensuring they return to wagging their tails as soon as possible.

Why does my pet need spinal surgery?

At our veterinary center, we are deeply committed to the health and happiness of your pet. Our services are grounded in compassion, acknowledging the serious impact that spinal issues can have on your pet’s quality of life.

Indications for Spinal Surgery

Spinal surgery may become necessary for several serious conditions that impair your pet’s normal activities and comfort. These include disc herniation, spinal fractures, and spinal tumors. Early surgical intervention is crucial not only for alleviating pain but also for preventing irreversible damage and enhancing recovery prospects. We ensure that surgery is considered when it promises significant improvements in quality of life, offering relief and restoring mobility.

Signs and Symptoms

It’s essential to be aware of the signs that might indicate a need for spinal surgery, which can include:

  • Difficulty standing or walking
  • Noticeable pain or yelping when moving
  • Loss of coordination or stumbling
  • Partial or complete paralysis
  • Incontinence or difficulty controlling bladder/bowels

If you observe any of these symptoms in your dog, we urge you to contact us immediately. Timely and compassionate intervention is key to effectively managing spinal issues and can make a critical difference in your pet’s well-being.

Types of Dog Spinal Surgery

At our veterinary center, our expertise in veterinary spinal surgery ensures top-tier treatment options for your pet’s spinal conditions. We specialize in sophisticated surgical techniques to better your pet’s health and mobility, such as:

Disc Herniation Surgery

Disc herniation can severely affect your dog’s comfort and mobility. At our clinic, we commonly employ surgical procedures such as hemilaminectomy and fenestration to treat intervertebral disc herniation. These techniques involve removing a portion of the bone or the disc to relieve pressure on the spinal cord, thereby alleviating pain and restoring function. The primary goals of disc herniation surgery are to reduce discomfort, regain mobility, and prevent further spinal damage. Our skilled surgeons are adept at performing these procedures, aiming for the best possible recovery outcomes for your pet.

Spinal Fusion Surgery

Spinal fusion surgery is a critical procedure for stabilizing the spine in cases of trauma or severe degenerative conditions. The procedure combines two or more vertebrae to eliminate mobility at a vertebral segment, reducing pain and increasing stability. However, the success of the surgery relies on more than just the procedure itself. Proper patient selection and meticulous post-operative care are crucial. We focus on comprehensive care from the initial consultation through the recovery process, ensuring optimal outcomes for your pet and giving you peace of mind.

Our commitment to excellence in veterinary spinal surgery means that your pet receives the highest standard of care, tailored to their specific needs. Trust our experienced team to help restore your pet’s health and mobility, ensuring they enjoy a happy, active life.
