Our combined experience as general surgeons exceeds 50 years in practice. With this knowledge behind us we recommend that:
You feed only half the normal amount of food for the first meal following surgery. If no interest is shown for the food, take it away.
You provide a moderate bowl of water to quench thirst.
Provide a nice warm, comfortable and quiet bed for your pet to snooze in and recover from the effect of the anaesthetic (the hangover effect may last for 24-36 hours).
In general some stiffness and discomfort will be experienced during the first 3 or 4 days but then mobility should rapidly return.
Just to make sure that everything is going well one of our nurses will ring the day after surgery.
After Care
Most pets WILL NOT try to pull out their stitches. If you think this is going to be a problem please ask us how to stop it from happening. Click here for instructions on how to modify a bucket to make an 'Elizabethan Collar' to help prevent your pet from pulling out stitches.
Some swelling under the stitches is not uncommon. If you feel that the swelling is excessive please ring and question us.
If any medication is sent home with your pet please follow the given instructions.
We prefer to remove stitches 10 days after surgery. Please make an appointment for this service - THERE IS NO CHARGE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBTS OR WORRIES PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL.
