Pet Care after Spay and Neuter Surgery

Pet care after spay and neuter surgery begins right after surgery and may be important to help make sure your pet recovers completely. Our team at All Creatures Animal Hospital in Granbury, TX, will be there for your pet. Our animal hospital is here to help.

Post Surgery Recovery

Post surgery recovery begins for your pet while he is still at our office. His vitals will be monitored as he comes out of the anesthesia.

Post-Op Pet Care

When it comes to post-op pet care after spay and neuter pet surgery a veterinarian on our veterinary team will give you instructions to follow. One thing your pet might have to wear is a cone so that he won't be able to rip out the stitches on his incision. Your pet may not have much of an appetite as the effects of the anesthesia wear off. That is normal. Offer him something light if the instructions allow for food, but don't worry if he is not hungry for a day or so.

You want your pet to be up and walking around, if allowed, but strenuous exercise should be kept to a minimum. Keep the incision dry and clean. After sometime, everything should be back to normal.

Pain Management

Pain management after spay and neuter pet surgery is determined by a veterinarian on our veterinary team and by the needs of your pet. You may be given the medication to take home with you when you pick up your pet, along with the dosage and instructions. You may also get an antibiotic if there is any concern about an infection and if you have an anxious dog, a vet on our team may prescribe antianxiety medication as well.
