This pretty girl ”Biscuit” got double knee surgery at our sister clinic Dunedin Animal Medical Center.
To speed up healing, we are giving him laser therapy.
Laser treatment is a safe, drug-free treatment alternative. It reduces pain and discomfort, speeds healing, increases mobility and motion in joints and reduces swelling.
If a pet is in pain, has inflammation or has a wound, laser therapy is beneficial. This includes patients who have the aches and pains of old age, who have just had a surgical procedure, or who have an open wound or recent injury.
In both our clinics we offer this therapy. Call us or ask one of our technicians or doctors about our laser therapy packages. 727.592.1816

Meet Margot, a 20-week-old puppy!
Margot was born with a weak rear left leg which gave out when she walked or ran. Her ACL was severed and not properly supporting her knee. Orthopedic surgery was done at our sister hospital Dunedin Animal Medical Center on Wednesday Feb 2. Her ACL was repaired, and her patella groove was deepened to help it sit in place properly.
The biggest challenge now is the recovery! Try to explain to a 20-week-old active puppy that she needs rest, can’t play, jump or run for at least a month. Strict orders from the doctor: “Lots of love and snuggles but no outside time or exercise for this lively little!”
Maxx & Me Pet Rescue continues to amaze us. Your unconditional support for animals in need, never ends. Margot wouldn’t have had a chance without your dedication.

Tater is doing extremely well after his leg amputation at our sister hospital Dunedin Animal Medical Center.
He was born with his front legs not properly working because of lack of bone and muscle tissue. While his right front leg was gaining strength, his left front leg couldn’t be saved.
Tater took the surgery like a real champion. He was moving around 2 hours post-surgery like nothing ever happened! Courage and persistence!
Once his right front leg is strong enough, the prognosis is that he will be able to walk!
His foster Mom is a technician at our sister clinic. He is getting the best care during and after surgery.
