Post-Surgery Home Care

We understand that the recovery period after surgery can be a stressful time for you and your pet. That's why we provide detailed post-surgery home care instructions to ensure a speedy and comfortable recovery for your pet.

• Moist Wet Food

On the day of discharge, we recommend feeding your pet moist, wet food to help combat the dry mouth caused by anesthesia.


• Confinement

Confinement is crucial for proper wound healing. We recommend keeping your pet in a small, enclosed area to prevent excessive movement and accidental injury.


• Protection of Stitches

To prevent your pet from licking or biting at their stitches, we may recommend the use of an Elizabethan collar or bitterant spray. In some cases, bandages may also be necessary.


• Keep the Wound Dry

It's important to keep the surgical wound dry to prevent infection and promote healing. Avoid bathing or swimming, and ensure any bandages remain dry.



• Medication Instructions

We will provide clear instructions on any medications your pet may require after surgery. It's important to carefully follow these instructions to ensure a successful recovery.
