Post Op Pet Care: Recovering After Surgery

Posted on December 21, 2022September 6, 2022 by admin

Before an operation, pets and their owners may feel nervous. In most cases, the recovery time is uncomplicated, although your pet may need special care in the days and weeks following surgery. For the first days, your pet will have trouble staying upright, sleep more than usual, and have poor motor coordination and balance. Nausea, vomiting, heavy breathing, and even incontinence may be experienced. The first two days necessitate increased safety measures. After that, you’ll want to prevent your best friend from further injuring themselves by rushing, jumping, or biting at the wound.

What can you do to aid your pet in recovering after surgery?

Read on for some fundamental tips on how to speed up your pet’s recovery after surgery and if you do have an exotic pet, click here. 

Follow your veterinarian’s advice.

First, it’s crucial that you strictly follow all of the instructions given to you by the veterinarian clinic or animal hospital where your pet is being treated. They have the finest idea of how to help your pet recover quickly. These may include medications like antibiotics to help with pain and infection prevention or tranquilizers to help them sleep.

Restriction of activity.

After a surgery like spay & neuter procedures, your pet’s best chance for rapid and healthy recovery is if you restrict their activity level. This includes not climbing or stair climbing, sprinting or jumping, or walking (especially after orthopedic surgery and for toilet breaks). Your pet’s wound could be harmed further if you move it around too much right now.

 

If you keep them inside and in a warm, comfortable space, such as a large crate, the bone remodeling and/or incision will heal much faster.

Make use of an E-collar.

An Elizabethan collar, or “Cone of Shame,” can help prevent your pet from licking or chewing at their stitches and reduce the risk of infection. Don’t give in to those sad puppy-dog eyes; taking it off won’t help them. It may need to be worn for up to two weeks.

Keep track of their incisions.

To hasten your pet’s recovery, you must focus on the incision site. Signs of a botched incision include excessive pain, redness, swelling, bleeding, bruising, leakage, and inflammation.

 

These are all very worrying symptoms, so don’t delay getting in touch with your vet. Call your nearest clinic for advice on relieving pain treatment or an emergency visit if the bandage gets wet or needs to be changed.

Conclusion

Operations involving the bones, joints, and ligaments take longer to recover than those on the softer tissues. Therefore procedures like spaying and neutering, or abdominal surgery, are typically preferred. Healing from most soft-tissue surgeries is complete within six weeks, typically within two weeks. However, recovery time for bone and ligament surgeries can be much longer, with most patients reaching 80% health after 8-12 weeks. Even so, procedures like a ruptured cruciate ligament repair may necessitate a lengthy rehabilitation period of 4, 5, or even six months. Regarding postoperative recovery, pets are far quicker than people, so you shouldn’t feel awful about limiting their mobility. Adhering to post-operative guidelines can ensure a speedy recovery for your pet.
