IMPORTANT CARE YOUR PET NEEDS AFTER HIS OR HER SURGERY.
- DO NOT GIVE THEM TYLENOL OR ASPRIN unless specifically prescribed by your veterinarian. Tylenol is toxic to animals and aspirin can be deadly after surgery.
- Make sure to keep your dog or cat inside after surgery, this will help you watch them and stop them from hurting themselves.
- Don’t let your pet run or jump around for at least a week.
- Don’t let your pet lick or chew at the incision site, this could cause infection and complications in the healing process. If licking or chewing becomes a problem use an e-collar (or satellite dish collar that’s what I call them) to prevent your pet from getting to the affected area.
- Make sure to check the incision site twice a day. If it gets dirty clean it gently with luke warm water and a clean cotton ball.
- No swimming, bathing, or playing in the rain until at least a week after surgery.
