Welcome to FurWell Veterinary Hospital, where our veterinary team provides expert care for fractures and dislocations to help your pet recover safely and comfortably in Greer, SC.
Fractures (broken bones) and dislocations (joints forced out of their normal position) are serious orthopedic injuries that require prompt veterinary attention. They can result from trauma such as falls or vehicle accidents, or from underlying conditions that weaken bones. At FurWell Veterinary Hospital, we use digital radiography and thorough physical examination to accurately diagnose fractures and dislocations, then develop individualized treatment plans that may include surgical repair, external fixation, or conservative management depending on the injury type and your pet’s overall health. Our team prioritizes pain management, clear communication, and compassionate care throughout the treatment and recovery process.
When a fracture or dislocation is suspected, our first priority is pain management and stabilization. We assess your pet’s overall condition, administer appropriate pain medications, and take radiographs to fully evaluate the injury.
Our veterinary team reviews the imaging findings with you and discusses the treatment options, including surgical repair, splinting, or external fixation. We explain the expected outcomes and recovery process so you can make an informed decision for your pet.
For injuries requiring surgery, our team uses modern fixation techniques to stabilize the fracture or dislocation. Post-operative monitoring, pain management, and a structured recovery plan are provided to support the best possible healing.
Fractures and dislocations cause significant pain. Prompt treatment stabilizes the injury and provides effective pain relief, improving your pet’s comfort immediately.
Delayed treatment of fractures and dislocations can lead to complications including infection, malunion, nerve damage, and permanent loss of function. Early intervention reduces these risks.
With appropriate treatment and rehabilitation, most pets recover excellent function after fractures and dislocations. Our team guides you through every step of the recovery to maximize your pet’s outcome.
Signs include sudden lameness, swelling, deformity of a limb, inability to bear weight, and significant pain when the area is touched. If you suspect a fracture or dislocation, contact FurWell Veterinary Hospital immediately at (864) 292-6433.
Not all fractures require surgery. Treatment depends on the fracture type, location, and your pet’s overall health. Our veterinary team evaluates each case and discusses all appropriate treatment options with you.
Most fractures in pets heal within 6–12 weeks with appropriate treatment and restricted activity. Our team monitors healing with follow-up radiographs and guides you through the recovery process.
The cost of fracture repair varies depending on the fracture type, location, and treatment required. Our team provides transparent estimates before proceeding. For pricing information, call (864) 292-6433.
