Expert ACL Repair for Pets in Jacksonville, FL
At Birch Island Veterinary Center in Jacksonville, FL, we offer specialized ACL repair surgery for pets to restore mobility and alleviate joint pain. A torn ACL, or cranial cruciate ligament, is a common injury in active pets, particularly dogs. This injury can cause significant pain and restrict movement, impacting your pet’s quality of life. Our experienced veterinary team is here to provide advanced ACL repair solutions, helping your pet regain strength and return to an active lifestyle.
ACL injuries can result from sudden movements, trauma, or even gradual wear and tear on the ligament. Symptoms include limping, difficulty bearing weight, and stiffness, particularly after activity. At Birch Island Veterinary Center, we begin with a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging to confirm the ACL injury and determine the best treatment approach. By accurately diagnosing the injury, we can develop a tailored surgical plan for your pet’s recovery.
We offer several types of ACL repair procedures, including TPLO (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy) and lateral suture techniques. The specific procedure chosen depends on your pet’s size, age, and activity level. Our skilled surgical team is committed to minimizing recovery time and maximizing long-term results. After the surgery, we provide detailed post-operative care instructions, as well as pain management and physical therapy recommendations to ensure a smooth recovery process.
