​
Orthopedic Surgery: Fracture Repair & TPLO Surgery
Fractures and orthopedic injuries are common in dogs, particularly those that are active, large, or have underlying joint conditions. At Ranch House Pet-Med, we specialize in fracture repair and advanced procedures like TPLO surgery (Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy), providing your pet with the best possible treatment options.
​
Fracture Repair
Fractures can result from trauma, accidents, or health conditions that weaken the bones. Whether your dog is suffering from a broken leg, hip, or other bone fractures, our surgical team will work to restore the function of the affected limb. We use advanced techniques, including internal fixation (plates and screws), to stabilize the bone and ensure proper healing.
​
TPLO Surgery
For dogs with torn cranial cruciate ligaments (CCL), TPLO surgery offers a long-term solution to knee instability. This procedure changes the angle of the tibial plateau, preventing further damage to the knee joint and stabilizing the joint for better movement and less pain. Our experienced surgeons are skilled in TPLO surgery, providing your dog with the opportunity to return to an active lifestyle post-surgery. Learn more about TPLO Surgery HERE.
​
Mass Removals and Soft Tissue Surgeries
Dogs, like humans, can develop tumors or masses on various parts of their bodies. Whether benign or malignant, these masses may require surgical removal to ensure your dog’s health and comfort.
​
Mass Removal
Our veterinary team has extensive experience in mass removals, whether it’s a benign growth, cyst, or more serious tumor. We use advanced techniques to remove masses safely and effectively, ensuring that your dog’s recovery is as smooth and swift as possible.
​
Abdominal Exploratory Surgery
In cases where your dog has internal issues such as foreign objects, tumors, or gastrointestinal problems, abdominal exploratory surgery may be required. This procedure involves making an incision in the abdominal wall to visually examine and address any issues in the internal organs, such as the intestines, stomach, liver, or spleen.
​
Routine Surgeries: Spay, Neuter, and Dental Extractions
At Ranch House Pet-Med, we also perform routine procedures to keep your dog healthy. Whether your dog needs a spay or neuter for reproductive health or dental care, we provide these services in a safe, comfortable environment.
​
Spay and Neuter
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are common, low-risk surgeries performed to prevent unwanted litters and reduce the risk of certain health conditions. Spaying and neutering are also crucial for preventing some behavioral issues and improving the overall health of your dog.
​
Dental Extractions
Dental health is just as important as physical health for your dog. If your dog has severe periodontal disease, broken teeth, or other dental problems, dental extractions may be necessary. We offer thorough dental cleanings and extractions to ensure your dog’s teeth and gums stay healthy, preventing pain, infections, and future dental problems.
​
Laceration and Wound Repair
Lacerations, cuts, and wounds are common injuries that can occur from accidents, fights, or rough play. When your dog suffers from a laceration or wound, it’s essential to get timely and proper treatment to prevent infection and ensure healing.
​
Laceration and Wound Repair
Our team is skilled in laceration and wound repair, using the most effective techniques to clean, close, and protect the wound during the healing process. Whether your dog has a small cut or a larger wound that requires sutures, we’ll provide the care needed to restore their health and prevent complications.
