What are the signs my pet needs an orthopedic vet?
It’s not always easy to tell when a pet is in pain, but there are clear signs that something may be wrong with their bones or joints. Watch for:
Limping or favoring one leg
Difficulty standing up, climbing stairs, or jumping on furniture
Stiffness after rest or play
Swelling around joints or unusual posture
Reluctance to run, play, or go for walks
Sudden behavior changes caused by pain
