Need help finding a vet that specializes in Orthopedic
Hi,
I’m looking for a vet that specializes in orthopedics for my dog. That’s basically it. We live in SE Indiana but are willing to drive 2-3 hours if needed. We have a regular vet, but after being diagnosed with Arthritis, the only solution offered was a Librela injection. We agreed to it and went home. Turns out this is a very dangerous injection to give your dog with more risks than most regular injections. Additionally after researching, it turns out there are very basic supplements you can administer that help immensely- (Cosequin, Dasiquin. Neither mentioned during our visit.) My dog is limping and I’m just supposed to accept “it’s arthritis” and live with this? She’s in pain. I can’t accept that we’re just supposed to live with her skipping/ hopping and limping. That’s absurd. We’re looking for a vet that specializes in orthopedics that can actually help us. I know there are “good vets” people will recommend, I’m sorry not trying to sound harsh but we are SPECIFICALLY looking for one that specializes in orthopedic. I’m still “new” here and don’t really know where to go. I’ve googled and called so many places with no luck. Thank you.
