POST-OP INSTRUCTIONS
1. No running, jumping, playing, swimming or other strenuous activities for 7 to 10 days. Keep your pet quiet. Pets must
be kept indoors where they can stay clean, dry, and warm. No baths during the recovery period. Dogs must be walked on
a leash and kept indoors.
2. Check the incision site twice daily. There should be no drainage. Redness and swelling should be minimal. Do not allow
your pet to lick or chew the incision. If this occurs, an Elizabethan collar MUST be applied to prevent additional licking
and chewing that could cause infection.
3. If your dog had a scrotal castration, they may have small amounts of drainage/discharge for up to three days.
4. Appetite should return gradually within 24 hours of surgery. Lethargy lasting for more than 24 hours after surgery,
diarrhea, or vomiting is not normal, and your pet should be taken to your regular vet. Dogs may have a slight cough for a
few days after surgery.
5. Do not change your pet’s diet at this time, and do not give them junk food, table scraps, milk, or any other people food
during the recovery period. This could mask post-surgical complications.
6. We recommend your pet receive a post-operative examination with your regular vet 7 to 10 days after surgery, to have
the incision checked for complete healing, and to discuss additional needs or follow-up care. If your pet received a
vaccine at our clinic other than rabies, please discuss a “booster” vaccine with your regular vet. Canine distemper/parvo
vaccine, feline leukemia vaccine, and feline distemper vaccine all need to be “boosted” 3 to 4 weeks after administration
of the first vaccine for maximum effectiveness.
7. Your pet received a green tattoo next to their incision. This tattoo is a scoring process in the skin; IT IS NOT AN
EXTRA INCISION.
8. Do not give your pet aspirin or Tylenol for pain relief, as they can be toxic to your pet. Please consult your vet instead.
9. In case of emergency due to surgery, please contact your personal vet or an emergency vet clinic.
10. For complications after surgeries through Pet Community Center, please call: 512-5001/802-8387(after hours).
