POST SURGERY PET CARE guidelines

Keep your pet indoors in a quiet, warm, and dry area for the first 4 days. Ensure the space is clean and free from other pets and children.

Limit your pet's activity for 14 days. No running, jumping, or climbing.

For cats, use shredded paper in the litter box for 4 days to prevent irritation.

Do not bathe your pet for 14 days post-surgery.

To prevent licking of the incision, your pet may need an e-collar. Male dogs should wear the e-collar for at least 10 days.

Keep other pets away from the incision site to avoid irritation or infection.

Do not administer any over-the-counter medications, such as painkillers or ointments, as they can be toxic. Absorbable sutures are used, so there's no need for a follow-up visit for suture removal. Some swelling at the incision site is normal and should subside within 2 weeks.

Your pet may feel nauseous after surgery. Offer a small amount of water approximately 4 hours post-surgery. If there is no vomiting, provide a small portion of food (about 25% of their usual meal) in the evening. It's normal if they don't eat much initially. By the next day, you can resume their regular feeding and drinking schedule.
