Safe and Comfortable Recovery at Home
After surgery, our team provides detailed instructions tailored to your pet’s individual needs. Your pet’s safe recovery is our priority, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
Some general tips for recovery include:
-
Use of an e-collar or snug-fitting t-shirt to prevent your pet from irritating their sutures.
-
Keep your pet in a calm space, such as their crate or a pet-safe room, for the first few days following surgery.
-
Avoid allowing your pet to run or jump for at least 7-10 days. More complex surgeries may require longer recovery periods.
-
Check your pet’s incision for any signs of discharge, hardened skin, or bleeding. Contact us immediately if you notice anything concerning.
-
If your pet doesn’t eat or drink within 24 hours post-surgery, give us a call right away.
