Following an anesthetic procedure, your pet may appear quiet
and sleepy for up to 24 hours. Please call us if he or she is not
doing well!
Keep your pet quiet the night after surgery. Help him or her on
stairs or in other potentially hazardous areas.
Keep your pet quiet, preferably inside, until healing is complete.
Running and jumping may pull sutures loose.
After anesthesia some pets may have an upset stomach. The first
night after surgery you may offer small amounts of water to drink.
If vomiting occurs, withhold any further intake until the morning
after surgery. If no vomiting, pets may have a small meal.
Normal diet may resume the day after surgery.
Check the surgery site daily for any sign of trouble. A healthy
surgical site is dry, sealed, and of normal temperature and color.
Continue any medications for the full duration prescribed. Give
the evening dose on day of surgery unless instructed otherwise.
Call us if your pet is not showing return to normal attitude, activity,
and appetite, or if the surgical site is not healing.

After dental work, your pet’s mouth may be
uncomfortable, especially if any teeth were extracted.
You can moisten the food with warm water, or offer a
canned formula of the same food to help make eating
more comfortable. DO NOT offer a meal of table food
or change the pet food drastically as this may cause
upset stomach.
Please continue any antibiotics that are prescribed for
your pet until they are completely finished! The doctor
may also send a pain reliever to help keep your pet
comfortable after the procedure.
In the weeks after your pet’s dental procedure, we hope
you will notice clean fresh breath and a great “smile”.
Help keep your pet’s teeth healthy by choosing good
quality pet food, avoiding table food, and brushing his
or her teeth, if possible.
