Post Operation Instructions

No running, jumping, playing, swimming or other strenuous activity for 7-10 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 cats kept indoors. Feral cats can be released in 48 hours.
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 at the incision. If this occurs, an Elizabethan collar MUST be applied to prevent it.
Offer your pet ½ half of a normal meal when you return home. If he/she eats it and no vomiting is noted, offer the second ½ of the meal 2 hours later. If he/she does not eat don't worry. Appetite should return gradually within 24 hours of surgery.
A bowel movement may not be noted for up to 48 hours post-op.
Lethargy lasting for more than 24 hours post-op, diarrhea, or vomiting are not normal and your pet should be taken to your regular veterinarian. Dogs may have a slight cough for a few days after surgery.
Do not change your pet's diet at this time and do not give junk food, table scraps, milk or any other people food during the recovery period. This could mask post-surgical complications.
If there are any questions or concerns directly related to the surgery during the recovery period, please call this office at (509) 924-7826. If there is an emergency after hours, contact your regular veterinarian or the Pet Emergency Clinic at (509) 326-6670.
Your pet received a green tattoo next to their incision. This tattoo was applied with either a standard tattoo tool or through scoring method. If scoring method was used this is NOT AN EXTRA INCISON.

Pet Savers will treat any complications directly related to the surgery as long as the all of the post-operative instructions and recommendations were followed completely. There may be a minimal charge for this service. Your regular veterinarian must address illnesses or injuries that are not a direct result of surgery. Please call for an appointment as soon as you see cause for concern. We cannot be held responsible for complications resulting from failure to follow post-op instructions, or for contagious diseases for which the pet was not previously properly vaccinated.
