🐾🏥 Surgery day can be stressful, but a little preparation can go a long way in making the process smoother for both you and your pet. Here’s a guide to help:
1. Pre-Surgery Exam: Before the big day, your pet will undergo a thorough examination, including blood work and possibly imaging, to ensure they’re in good health for surgery. Follow any pre-surgery instructions from your vet, such as fasting your pet overnight.
2. What to Bring: On surgery day, bring your pet’s collar, leash, and any necessary medical records. If your pet has a favorite blanket or toy, bring that too to help them feel more comfortable.
3. Comfort Post-Op: After surgery, your pet will likely feel groggy from anesthesia. Prepare a quiet, comfortable space at home for them to rest. Have their medications ready and follow the post-surgery care instructions carefully to ensure a smooth recovery.
4. Recovery Expectations: Expect a few days of rest, with activity restrictions to prevent strain on the surgical site. You may need to restrict jumping, running, or playing during the recovery period. Follow-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor healing and address any concerns.
Remember, early intervention and proper preparation are key to helping your pet recover successfully. Have questions? Call us! https://vovcbham.com/contact/
