Shoulder dislocation is a common disease in dogs. Its symptoms are prominent shoulders, difficulty in lifting legs, limping and even inability to walk. In view of this situation, surgical treatment is an effective method. This operation is suitable for patients with severe difficulty in walking due to dislocation of shoulder joint, unsatisfactory conservative treatment effect and persistent pain in the affected part. In addition, if the disease is not well controlled and treated in the early stage, it will also form a more complicated condition and require surgical treatment to solve the problem.

3. Effects and risks of surgery

After surgical treatment, dogs generally recover well and can adapt to the new exercise mode quickly. At the same time, family rehabilitation treatment is needed in the next few weeks, so that the dog can quickly return to normal action. However, it should be noted that surgery has risks, such as infection and pain caused by foreign bodies in hard tissue after surgery. In addition, anesthesia, surgical site management and other factors need to be considered during the operation.
