Pet Orthopedics in Peyton, CO

Welcome to Falcon Family Vet, where our veterinary team helps pets in Peyton, Falcon, and the surrounding areas with bone, joint, and ligament problems so they can move comfortably.

Understanding Pet Orthopedics

Orthopedics is the area of veterinary medicine that focuses on the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Orthopedic problems can result from injuries, developmental conditions, or wear and tear as pets age.

Our veterinarians evaluate limping and mobility problems, identify the cause, and recommend the right treatment. Depending on your pet’s needs, that may include rest, medication, weight management, laser therapy, or surgery.

We take a step-by-step approach to finding and treating the source of your pet’s discomfort.

Orthopedic Exam

We watch your pet move and carefully examine their joints, muscles, and bones.

Imaging

Digital X-rays help us see fractures, joint changes, and other problems.

Personalized Treatment Plan

We discuss medical and surgical options and recommend the plan that best fits your pet.
