We study orthogonally additive operators between Riesz spaces without the Dedekind completeness assumption on the range space. Our first result gives necessary and sufficient conditions on a pair of Riesz spaces $(E,F)$ for which every orthogonally additive operator from $E$ to $F$ is laterally-to-order bounded. Second result provides sufficient conditions on a pair of orthogonally additive operators $S$ and $T$ to have $S \vee T$, as well as to have $S \wedge T$, and consequently, for an orthogonally additive operator $T$ to have $T^+$, $T^-$ or $|T|$ without any assumption on the domain and range spaces. Finally we prove an analogue of Meyer's theorem on the existence of modules of disjointness preserving operator for the setting of orthogonally additive operators.
