Fracture Repair for Dogs and Cats in South Florida – Helping Broken Bones Heal
Pets can suffer broken bones from accidents, falls, or other injuries, and these fractures often require surgical repair to heal properly. Our pet fracture repair surgery service offers advanced orthopedic care for dogs and cats with broken limbs. Dr. Fernand is skilled in multiple fracture-fixation techniques, including open reduction and internal fixation (using bone plates and screws to stabilize the bone) as well as external fixation (pins and external frames) when needed. During surgery, he will realign your pet’s broken bone (a process called reduction) and secure the pieces so they stay in place during healing. By using the latest implants and methods, we ensure the bone heals straight and strong. This means your playful pup or curious cat can get back to their normal activities sooner, with a lower risk of lasting lameness. We explain everything in layman’s terms – from what a radiograph shows to how the surgical pins work – so you’re never left confused about your pet’s treatment.

Advanced Orthopedic Care – Right Surgery When You Need It
If you’re searching for affordable pet fracture surgery, our mobile surgical model is the perfect solution. Rather than transferring your injured pet to a far-away facility, Dr. Fernand comes to your veterinarian’s clinic to perform the fracture repair. This ensures continuity of care – your regular vet remains involved and informed – and spares your pet the stress of an unfamiliar hospital. We serve all of South Florida, so whether you’re in Broward County, Dade County, or Monroe County, expert fracture repair is just a call away. Dr. Fernand has extensive experience fixing fractures in pets of all sizes, from tiny kitten femurs to large breed dog legs. He approaches each case with compassion and precision, understanding that a broken bone can be painful and scary for both pet and owner. Our team will keep your pet comfortable with state-of-the-art anesthesia and pain control, and we’ll update you immediately after the surgery with how everything went.

What to Do If Your Pet Has a Broken Bone:

• Stay Calm and Safe: Gently stabilize your pet and prevent further movement of the injured limb. Do not attempt to set the fracture at home.
• Seek Veterinary Care: Visit your primary vet for X-rays and pain management. If a complex fracture is confirmed, ask about referral to Dr. Fernand for surgery.
• Contact Us: We can often arrange fracture surgery within 24-48 hours (sooner for emergencies) at your vet’s clinic, minimizing delay in treatment. Prompt repair leads to better outcomes for your pet’s mobility.

Aftercare Support: Dr. Fernand will provide a detailed recovery plan including rest, possible splint/cast care, and follow-up visits. We’ll guide you on helping your pet heal, and Dr. Fernand is available for any questions during recovery.
