FurWell at Barkingham provides comprehensive orthopedic care for dogs and cats in Greenville. Our experienced veterinary team diagnoses and treats a wide range of bone, joint, and musculoskeletal conditions to restore your pet's mobility and quality of life.
Orthopedic conditions affect the bones, joints, ligaments, and muscles. These can include developmental disorders like hip dysplasia, traumatic injuries such as fractures and ligament tears, degenerative conditions including arthritis, and congenital abnormalities. Orthopedic care may involve medical management, surgical correction, or a combination of both, depending on the diagnosis and severity.
We perform a complete gait analysis and hands-on orthopedic exam to identify areas of pain, instability, or reduced range of motion.
Digital radiographs are taken to evaluate bones and joints in detail. Additional imaging may be recommended for complex cases.
Our veterinarians explain findings clearly and present all treatment options, from medical management and pain control to surgical correction, so you can make the best decision for your pet.
Untreated orthopedic conditions progressively worsen. Timely intervention restores function and prevents permanent disability.
Arthritis, joint disease, and orthopedic injuries cause significant pain. Effective treatment relieves suffering and improves daily quality of life.
Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment prevent secondary arthritis, muscle atrophy, and chronic lameness that develop when injuries go untreated.
We treat hip dysplasia, cruciate ligament tears, patellar luxation, fractures, elbow dysplasia, OCD (osteochondritis dissecans), joint luxations, growth plate disorders, arthritis, and other musculoskeletal conditions. Our veterinarians will evaluate your pet and recommend the most appropriate treatment.
Signs include limping or lameness, stiffness after rest, reluctance to jump or use stairs, swelling around joints, muscle atrophy, behavioral changes such as reduced activity or irritability when touched, and abnormal gait or posture.
Bring any prior X-rays or medical records. Note which leg is affected, when symptoms began, and whether lameness is constant or intermittent. This information helps our veterinarians perform a more targeted evaluation.
Orthopedic treatment varies widely depending on the condition. Options include pain management and anti-inflammatory medications, physical rehabilitation, weight management, joint supplements, and surgical correction. Our team will outline all appropriate options for your pet's specific diagnosis.
