Pain Management & Medication – We provide pet-safe medications to control pain and inflammation, along with clear instructions on dosage and administration.
Elizabethan Collar (E-Collar) – A protective collar prevents your pet from licking, biting, or scratching the surgical site, reducing the risk of infection or suture removal.
Bandages & Wound Protection – Some procedures may require bandages to protect the healing area. Our team will guide you on how to keep them clean and dry.
Restricted Activity & Rest – Limited movement is essential to prevent strain on the surgical site. Crate rest or controlled leash walks may be necessary for certain procedures.
Nutritional Support – A proper diet aids recovery. Soft foods or special dietary recommendations may be required based on the surgery performed.
