Specialized FHO (Femoral Head Ostectomy) Surgery for Pets in Whitehouse Station, NJ
At Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital in Whitehouse Station, NJ, we specialize in performing Femoral Head Ostectomy (FHO) surgery, a crucial procedure for pets suffering from hip joint problems, including hip dysplasia and severe arthritis. This surgical intervention aims to alleviate pain and restore your pet's mobility, allowing them to lead a happier, more active life. Our experienced team is dedicated to providing the highest quality care throughout the surgical process.
FHO involves removing the femoral head, which is the ball part of the hip joint, to eliminate painful joint friction and inflammation. Our veterinarians begin with a thorough assessment, including physical examinations and diagnostic imaging, to determine if FHO is the best treatment option for your pet. By tailoring our approach to each individual case, we can ensure optimal results and a smoother recovery.
Post-surgery, our team provides comprehensive care to support your pet's healing process. This includes pain management, activity restrictions, and rehabilitation exercises to help strengthen the muscles around the hip joint. We will guide you through the recovery journey, ensuring that your pet receives the necessary support and monitoring to regain their mobility and comfort.
If your pet is suffering from hip pain or mobility issues and may benefit from FHO surgery, contact Hunterdon Hills Animal Hospital at (908) 534-2321. Our compassionate team is here to answer your questions and provide the best possible care for your beloved companion. Together, we can help your pet achieve a pain-free, active lifestyle once again.
