POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS

•    Keep them indoors for 7-10 days – cats indoors period, dogs leash-walked.
•    Restrict their activity as much as possible.
•    Check incision when you get home – today is normal.
•    Look at incision a couple times a day over the next 7-10 days – for signs of infection (redness, swelling, drainage). 
•    See anything suspicious, please call us right away.
•    Incisions are held together with sutures that dissolve on their own over the next 4 months.  On top of that is a skin glue that dissolves over the next 7-10 days.  It dissolves too quickly if it gets wet.  No bathing, licking, or lying in the rain.
•    Please feed them what they normally eat for the next 24 hours.  No special snacks or treats.
•    We recommend you take your pet to your regular vet for a post-op exam in 7-10 days.
