Pre and Post Op

Pre and Post Operation Instructions

Pre-Operation Instructions:

  • Do NOT feed your pet from midnight.
  • Please keep your pet indoors the night before surgery.
  • If your cat is an outdoor cat, please confine them to an indoor space eg. A shed.
  • Your pet may have water until 8am.
  • Dogs should be brought out on a lead to go to the toilet on the morning of their surgery.
  • Please present your pet for admission to the clinic between 9am and 9.15am.
  • Please have your dog on a lead and your cat in a secure cat carrier.

Post-Operation Instructions:

  • In most routine cases, your pet will go home the same day as their surgery.
  • Following the operation, you may find it could take several days for your pet to return to full activity.
  • This evening, your pet may be a little sleepy, so ensure you keep them indoors in a warm and comfortable bed, located in a quiet area of your home.
  • You can feed your pet a smaller amount of their food when you get home. You may find they are not interested in food but by morning, they should be eating as normal.
  • You may also notice your pet is slow to pass faeces in the first two/three days post-surgery. This is normal.
  • We recommend you keep your pet strictly confined for a period of 10 days. Restricted exercise/short walks on the lead are permitted with NO running, swimming, jumping, baths or trips to groomers.
  • If your pet has been advised to wear a buster collar, please do so for the stated period of time.
  • You will be advised when your next check-up is due. It is important that you keep this appointment as your pet may or may not have external sutures to be removed.
  • You may be sent home with medication. It is important you follow the instructions given.
  • Failure to follow all of the above instructions may result in delayed healing, which may require additional treatment at the owners expense.
