Post-Operative Care Information
Keep your pet in a confined area for the day after pick-up. We recommend buying an E-collar to keep your pet from licking the incision or any wounds. Keep your pet from being active including no jumping, running and rough play for 7-14 days. Keep the wound or incision dry and clean for at least 7 days after surgery. The stitches will dissolve over time (unless otherwise stated). Check the incision daily until fully healed. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us.
