FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) Surgery for Pets at Skillman Animal Clinic in Sunnyside, NY
At Skillman Animal Clinic in Sunnyside, NY, we specialize in FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) surgery, a procedure designed to relieve pain and restore mobility in pets suffering from hip issues, such as hip dysplasia or femoral head fractures. This surgical technique involves the removal of the femoral head, allowing the surrounding muscles and tissues to compensate and form a false joint. Our experienced veterinary team is committed to providing effective surgical solutions to enhance your pet’s quality of life.
FHO surgery is often recommended when conservative treatments, such as medications or physical therapy, fail to provide adequate relief from pain or dysfunction. By removing the damaged femoral head, we alleviate pressure on the hip joint, enabling improved movement and reducing discomfort. Our clinic utilizes advanced surgical techniques and equipment to ensure a successful outcome and a smooth recovery process for your pet.
Before performing FHO surgery, we conduct a thorough examination and diagnostic imaging to assess your pet's condition accurately. Our veterinarians will discuss the surgical procedure in detail, outlining the benefits, risks, and expected recovery time. We prioritize clear communication and work closely with pet owners to ensure you are informed and comfortable with the treatment plan.
If your pet is experiencing pain or mobility issues due to hip problems, trust Skillman Animal Clinic in Sunnyside, NY, for expert FHO surgery. With our compassionate care and advanced surgical techniques, we are dedicated to helping your pet regain their mobility and enjoy a pain-free life.
