Post Operative Care

Your pet has just undergone general anesthesia and surgical sterilization. For the safety and well being of you and your pet, we recommend the following post-operative instructions to be carefully followed.

Do not feed your pet until late on the evening of the surgery. Stomach upset can occur whenever anesthesia is used. Offer only a small amount of food and water. Your pet may not be interested in eating or drinking at this time. You can resume the regular diet in the morning.

Restrict your pet's activities for the next seven days. Do not allow excess running, jumping, or playing. Please keep your pets in their crates until tomorrow morning.

Keep your pet out of extreme temperatures, either hot or cold. Your pet should stay inside for the next two days. Provide a clean dry place for your pet to rest.

Inspect your pet's incision at least twice daily until healed. A small amount of blood seepage and swelling is normal immediately after surgery.

Discourage licking of the wound to prevent infection of the surgery area. Wrap your pet's neck with a folded towel and secure it at the back of the neck with duct tape. This should prevent it from licking the surgical site.

Dirty incisions should be gently cleaned with a cotton ball moistened with tap water. If the incision looks good, do not clean it.

Do not bathe your pet for at least one week after surgery. Keeping your pet clean and dry will be beneficial to their recovery.

If your pet was in heat at the time of surgery, keep her away from males for two weeks.
Sutures are dissolvable and will not require removal and do not give aspirin, Tylenol, or other medication to your pet for pain relieve. These medications can be harmful.
