For pet owners, there are few things more devastating than seeing your cat or dog sustain a serious injury. Unfortunately, dogs and cats aren’t always sure of their physical limitations, and they may be afflicted by orthopedic conditions like hip dysplasia and arthritis that make injuries even more likely. With All Pets Animal Hospital & 24 Hour Emergency Care, we provide pet treatment for all types of injuries and other pet emergencies in Katy, TX. Whether your pet has an acute injury or chronic pain and lameness from an existing condition, we’re here to help with comprehensive veterinary care.
Surgical Care
Some injuries, such as torn ligaments, broken bones, and spinal injuries, may require surgery to repair damaged structures in the body. These types of surgeries may have a long rehabilitative process that includes confinement to prevent reinjury. Our veterinary care team will walk you through the recovery process, so that you’re prepared to provide the animal care your pet needs at home.
Veterinary Laser Therapy
Veterinary laser therapy uses laser energy to stimulate cell regeneration, so it can accelerate the healing process following surgery or address inflammation and injuries related to arthritis. Laser therapy is non-invasive and gentle on your pet, but it does require ongoing sessions to be effective.
Water Treadmill Therapy
Injured pets can have a hard time staying mobile, but physical activity is beneficial for rebuilding strength and aiding in recovery. Walking on a water treadmill can help your pet exercise in a low impact setting to improve flexibility, strength, and range of motion. The water temperature is warm to help relax the muscles and ease pain—much like soaking in a hot tub.
Rehabilitation Exercises
Just like humans, pets can benefit from physical therapy, which uses specific exercises to build strength in the muscles surrounding injured areas. Our pet care specialists will guide you and your pet through exercises in physical therapy sessions, which you can then practice at home.
