Rice Veterinary Clinic is a full-service veterinary clinic near Sartell with on-staff surgeons who can perform orthopedic surgeries for your dog. If your dog vets identify bone or joint issues with your pet during a check-up, we might suggest orthopedic veterinary surgery as the best recovery option.

Before surgery, our dog veterinarians in the Sartell area will complete pre-surgical blood work and health analysis to determine if your dog is a good candidate for the procedure. In the event that we proceed with orthopedic surgery, our trained veterinary surgeons will start by sedating your puppy. This allows our orthopedic surgeons to safely repair damage to bones and joints without causing your dog fear or pain.

For dogs suffering from a congenital joint condition or bone injury, orthopedic surgery might be the ideal road to recovery. Following this surgical procedure, your pup will need a minimum of two weeks to recover, and routine physical therapy might be needed as well.
