Facing the decision to amputate your pet’s leg can be overwhelming and emotional—but you’re not alone. At Lowell Animal Hospital, we provide compassionate and expert care for pet leg amputations in Lowell, IN. While the thought may be difficult at first, most pets adjust quickly and go on to live full, happy, and pain-free lives on three legs. Our dedicated team is here to support you and your furry friend every step of the way.
A pet leg amputation is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of a limb due to trauma, cancer, birth defects, or severe orthopedic issues. Though it sounds daunting, animals adapt incredibly well. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and pets typically recover with surprising speed, often walking within a day of the operation.
Leg amputation is considered when a limb is causing your pet pain, impairing mobility, or affecting quality of life. Conditions like bone cancer, severe fractures, or non-healing wounds can make amputation the best option. Removing the source of pain allows your pet to regain comfort, mobility, and a renewed zest for life.
Before surgery, we’ll conduct a thorough physical exam, diagnostics, and bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia. We’ll discuss your pet’s specific case, the recovery process, and what to expect. Our compassionate team will be with you every step of the way to make sure your pet receives the best care possible.
