Do not bathe your pet during the recovery period (10 days) or apply topical ointment to the incision site. Dogs and female cats have internal sutures these will dissolve and you do not need to return to have any removed. If you do remove it for feeding, replace it immediately after your pet has finished eating. If your pet has an Elizabethan collar (cone) after surgery, do not remove it for feeding unless you are able to supervise them. Patients' reactions to surgery can vary lethargy (lasting for more than 24 hours after surgery), or excessive vomiting and diarrhea are NOT normal and you should contact your veterinarian if these occur. Do not change your pet's diet at this time and do not give them additional treats or "people food.". You may give them a small amount of their regular food the same night after their surgery. After surgery, your pet’s appetite should slowly return within 24 hours. Strenuous activity, such as running or jumping, could disrupt the healing process and cause the incision to become swollen or open. Either way, it is very important that you limit your pet's movements for the next 7 to 10 days. Some animals may be active after surgery, while others may not be. Please share the following instructions with everyone who will be taking care of your pet: We thank you for entrusting us with your pet's care today. These tests allows us to see if your animal has any pre-existing health concerns so we can provide the safest options for them to safely undergo this procedure. Pets over the age of 7 years old are required to have a pre-anesthetic blood work.
