Orthopaedic & Neuro Surgery

Pet owners fear that some day their pet may break a bone or have to undergo neuro surgery, but you don’t have to worry because Hulen Hills Animal Hospital is here to help.

 

Hulen Hills specializes in injury, trauma and neurologic emergencies and offers orthopedic and neurosurgery.

 

When it comes to a broken bone, recent literature states that rapid repair of a fracture improves healing time and surgical outcomes. At Hulen Hills, we know how important it is to have your pet back to normal as soon as possible. That’s why our doctor and nursing staff is experienced at managing critical patients after surgery.

 

In neurologic cases, 24-hour aftercare is of the utmost importance. We offer hydrotherapy in our facility’s 20-foot heated pool to assist with physical therapy and help your pet return to an excellent state of health.

 

We offer several highly advanced services for your pet including:
