One of the scariest things pet owners face is an emergency. We can't always plan for them, but we can be prepared. A broken leg requires urgent veterinary care, and at Edmonton West Animal Hospital, we're fully equipped to treat fractures in cats and dogs. If your pet is limping or in pain and you suspect a broken bone, call our clinic to book a consultation today.
Fractured legs come in many forms and have a range of causes, but no matter the type, your pet should be seen as soon as possible as earlier treatment helps minimize complications and get your pet out of pain faster.
The most common fracture types we see are hairline, compound, multi-fragment, and growth plate fractures. Depending on the type, our orthopedic-trained surgeons choose from a range of repair techniques, all aimed at realigning and securing the bone so it can heal properly. Some fractures can be stabilized externally with a splint, while others require surgical intervention with internal fixation using plates, screws, or pins. X-rays are typically needed to evaluate the extent of the damage and determine the right treatment path.
Healing time varies depending on the type of fracture, the stabilization method used, and your pet's age. Younger animals generally heal faster than older ones, but most pets need months of rest and rehabilitation before they're fully recovered. We provide complete care from the first visit through full recovery, with detailed rehabilitation instructions along the way. We're open 365 days a year with extended hours if you have questions or concerns during your pet's recovery.
We offer consultations and surgery with a veterinarian who will examine your pet and determine the best course of action. You'll receive a complete estimate up front covering everything needed for surgery, including follow-up care - no surprises or hidden costs. We offer competitive pricing along with financing options to fit your budget.
