Your pet will have had an anesthetic to have surgery. When you get them home you should keep them quiet, comfortable and warm.

Wounds

When you collect your pet you will notice an area has been clipped from the surgical site in order to clean the area before operating.

There will be an incision where the surgery has taken place. It is quite common to get some swelling and this will reduce with time.

Please check the wound daily, if there is any excessive discharge from the wound please contacts us. Do NOT let your pet lick the wound. If they do please come in and pick up a buster collar.

It is essential that your pet is kept quiet and on the lead at all times when outside until advised otherwise at your post op check up.

Medication

Your pet will have had pain killing injections on the day of his/her operation and afterwards if needed. The nurse will advise you on any further medication that is required.
