Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team provides compassionate amputation surgery for pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas when it is the best option for their comfort and health.
Amputation is the surgical removal of a limb, toe, or tail. It may be recommended for severe injuries that cannot be repaired, bone or soft tissue cancer, serious infections, or conditions that cause chronic, uncontrollable pain.
Deciding on amputation can be difficult, but pets adapt remarkably well. Most dogs and cats learn to walk, run, and play on three legs within a few weeks and go on to enjoy happy, active lives. Our veterinarians will talk through every option with you before recommending surgery.
We support you and your pet through every step.
We examine your pet, review diagnostic results, and discuss all treatment options with you.

Your pet is closely monitored during surgery and receives pain relief during and after the procedure.
We provide home-care instructions and tips to help your pet adjust, and we schedule follow-up visits to check healing.
