Pet Orthopedic Surgery & Rehabilitation

Veterinarian Serving Tampa, FL and the Surrounding Cities

Much like human joints, the joints of cats and dogs can develop problems, either through chronic degenerative diseases or as the result of a sudden injury. Fortunately, modern veterinary techniques have made orthopedic surgery just as viable for pets as for their human owners. Here at Gandy Animal Hospital, Inc, our dedicated professionals offer a high degree of surgical experience and technical expertise to help pets recover successfully from a variety of orthopedic complaints.

Orthopedic surgery involves the bones and tissues of weight-bearing joints such as the feet, knees, hips and vertebrae. A pet suffering from hip dysplasia, for instance, may benefit from surgical modification of the hip joint, while a senior pet with severe spinal arthritis may gain relief from surgery that fuses two or more vertebrae.

Our medical director, Dr. Heinen has been performing orthopedic surgery on both dogs and cats for over 30 years. He has extensive training in many forms of orthopedic procedures such as: 

Medial Patella Luxation - (MPL) 

Anterior Cruciate Ligament - (ACL) 

Tibial Tuberosity Advancement - (TTA) 

Bone Fracture Repair 

Femoral Head Ostectomy - (FHO)

Various Forms of Amputations

and more...
