Orthopedic Surgery

We are pleased to offer a variety of orthopedic procedures to our clients in addition to our other services. Dr. Gauthier and Dr. Ainsworth both have a particular interest in orthopedics, and in the last few years have taken several continuing education courses to widen the variety of services offered by the clinic.

At Mayerthorpe Veterinary Services, we perform a variety of orthopedic surgeries, including:

  • Isometric Cruciate Stabilization

Femoral Head Osteotomy
