TIPS TO EASE YOUR PETS POST-SURGICAL RECOVERY
Restrict activity for 14 days. That means no running, jumping, climbing, or roughhousing.
Outfit your pet with an e-collar, cloud collar, or snug-fitting garment to protect their surgery site from licking, chewing, and scratching.
Keep a close eye on your pet to deter any licking, chewing, or scratching attempts.
Keep your pet away from bodies of water or other environments where they’re likely to get dirty.
Check your pet’s surgery site daily for redness, swelling, odor, seepage, and/or torn stitches.
