Pet Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery can be a solution for injured bones and joints.
Getting the right surgical care can make all the difference in your pet’s comfort and mobility. Cameron Veterinary offers advanced pet orthopedic surgery in Sunnyvale to treat musculoskeletal conditions. These services restore function and relieve pain when pets experience a sudden injury or develop a chronic orthopedic issue.
Orthopedic Surgeries For Pets
Our veterinary clinic offers orthopedic procedures in our pet hospital, including:

Common Conditions That May Require Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery may be recommended when non-surgical treatments such as rest, medication, or physical therapy fail to resolve the problems that your pet is experiencing. Some of the more common conditions our veterinarians see that may benefit from surgical correction include:
- Cranial Cruciate Ligament (CCL) Tears (usually in dogs)
- Hip Dysplasia
- Luxating Patellas (kneecaps that slip out of place)
- Traumatic Bone Fractures
- Severe Arthritis (leading to limb dysfunction)
If your pet is limping, struggling to stand or walk, or no longer interested in physical activity, a thorough orthopedic evaluation at Cameron Veterinary Hospital can help you determine the best course of action for your cat or dog.
