Life Doesn’t Stop After Amputation — and Neither Should Your Pet
If you’ve been told your pet may need an amputation, we understand how emotional that news can be.
From trauma to tumours, our experienced team offers gentle care and expert guidance through every step of the process.
When Is Amputation Necessary?
Dog and cat leg removal is usually recommended when a limb is severely injured, infected, or affected by disease. Common causes include:
- Severe fractures or crushed limbs
- Bone tumours or soft tissue cancer
- Irreversible nerve damage
- Chronic pain unresponsive to treatment
- Birth defects or limb deformities
While it’s a serious decision, many pets go on to live happy, active lives on three legs — without the pain or limitations they had before surgery.
What to Expect with Surgery and Recovery
Your pet’s comfort and well-being come first. As part of our orthopedic surgery for pets, we provide:
- Pre-surgical evaluations and diagnostics
- Pain management and tailored anesthesia
- Compassionate monitoring during and after surgery
- Recovery planning, mobility support, and home care tips
We’ll also guide you through at-home adjustments and answer all your questions about life after amputation.
