The Difference we bring

Orthopedic Surgeries

🦴 Advanced Orthopedic Surgeries

At Ranch Docs Veterinary Hospital, we specialize in advanced orthopedic procedures to restore your pet's mobility, reduce pain, and improve their quality of life. Whether it's a torn ligament, joint issue, or broken bone, our experienced surgical team is here to help.

What Sets Our Orthopedic Services Apart

  • Experienced Surgical Team – Our board-certified veterinarians bring decades of experience and surgical precision. Whether it's a complex TPLO, FHO, or intricate fracture repair, we’ve seen it, fixed it, and sent tails wagging.
  • Advanced Surgical Suite – Our sterile surgical environment is equipped with cutting-edge tools, heated tables, and real-time anesthesia monitoring — ensuring safety and efficiency at every step.
  • Tailored Rehabilitation Plans – Healing doesn't stop at the incision. We build custom recovery protocols for each patient — from pain management and physical therapy to mobility exercises — because no two recoveries are the same.
  • In-House Diagnostics – Fast, accurate diagnostics fuel smarter surgeries. Our on-site radiology and ultrasound help pinpoint issues with precision, eliminating referral delays and guesswork.
  • Pre-Surgical Consultations – We take the time to walk you through your pet's diagnosis, treatment options, and what to expect — answering every question so you feel informed and confident.
  • Proven Track Record – We’ve helped hundreds of animals regain their movement and joy. From working dogs to lapdogs, our success stories stretch across Southern Alberta.
  • Personalized Attention – You and your pet are more than just a chart. We get to know you, your concerns, and your goals — and support you from first exam to full recovery.

Our Orthopedic Surgery Process

Step 1 – Initial Assessment: A thorough exam and diagnostic imaging to determine the issue and the best surgical option.

Step 2 – Pre-Surgical Preparation: We perform any necessary bloodwork and discuss all risks, costs, and recovery expectations with you.

Step 3 – Surgery Day: Your pet is placed under general anesthesia, and our team performs the procedure with expert care and continuous monitoring.

Step 4 – Post-Op Care & Follow-Up: After surgery, your pet stays in our recovery area for monitoring. We send you home with detailed aftercare instructions, pain medication, and schedule follow-up visits to track recovery.
