Desexing Recovery

So, your furry friend has just had the snip, eh? Don't worry, recovery from desexing surgery doesn't have to be a ruff time! With a little TLC and some helpful tips, your pet will be back on their paws in no time.

Take it Easy, Furry Friend!

First things first, remind your pet that they are on strict bed rest (no chasing squirrels allowed!). Encourage them to relax and take it easy while their body heals. Maybe even set up a cozy spot with their favorite blanket and toys to keep them entertained.

Keep an Eye on the Surgical Site

It is essential to prevent your pet from licking or chewing at their stitches. We don't want to end up back at the vets for a re-stitch.  The best and most comfortable item to help recovery is of course our Pet Recovery Suit.  

Watch Out for Signs of Discomfort

Keep a close eye on your pet for any signs of discomfort or unusual behavior. If they seem to be in pain or their incision looks red or swollen, it's best to contact your vet right away. Remember, it's better to be safe than sorry!

Low-Key Activities Only

While your pet is recovering, it's important to avoid any strenuous activities. No long walks, intense play sessions, or acrobatic tricks for now. Stick to gentle walks and quiet playtime to prevent any strain on their healing body.

Healthy Diet, Happy Pet

Ensure your pet has access to fresh water at all times and feed them a balanced diet to support their recovery. Maybe even whip up some homemade treats to spoil them a little (after all, they deserve it for being such a good patient!).

Remember, every pet is different, so it's essential to follow your vet's specific post-op instructions. And don't forget to shower your furry friend with extra love and cuddles during this time—they'll appreciate the extra attention!
