Ortho Services at PetVet Auburn

Lameness Evaluations

Not sure why your pet is limping? Dr. Montgomery performs in-depth orthopedic evaluations, including gait analysis, palpation, and digital imaging, to pinpoint the cause and recommend the best path forward.

TPLO Surgery for CCL Tears

Cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) injuries are among the most common causes of hind-limb lameness in dogs. Dr. Montgomery offers Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO), a trusted surgical procedure that helps pets regain stability, reduce pain, and return to their active lives.

Fracture Repair

We use state-of-the-art surgical techniques and fixation methods—including bone plates, screws, and external devices—to treat fractures effectively and get your pet back on their feet safely.

Other Orthopedic Procedures

From juvenile growth abnormalities to joint instability and trauma repair, Dr. Montgomery provides personalized surgical and nonsurgical options tailored to your pet’s unique needs.

Compassionate, Specialized Care

Dr. Montgomery brings not only technical excellence but a compassionate approach to every case. Whether your pet was referred by another veterinarian or you’re seeking a second opinion, we’re here to guide you through every step of diagnosis, treatment, and recovery.

Schedule an Orthopedic Consultation

If your dog or cat is experiencing lameness, joint pain, or recovering from an orthopedic injury, don’t wait. Early diagnosis and treatment can make all the difference.
