FAQ
How should I prepare my pet for surgery?
Typically, you’ll be asked to withhold food (and sometimes water) the night before, avoid certain medications, and prep your home for a peaceful recovery. Your vet will supply exact instructions before the procedure.
Does my pet need to stay overnight?
Routine procedures like spay and neuter usually allow same-day discharge. Complex surgeries or pets needing monitoring may require an overnight stay. Your surgeon will advise what’s best.
Will there be stitches?
Yes—most surgeries involve stitches. Some are absorbed, dissolving over time; others require removal, typically after about two weeks. We’ll guide you on incision care and may suggest an cone collar to prevent interference.
What does post-operative care involve?
- Provide a quiet, comfortable recovery spot, away from noise and activity.
- Administer pain medications and any antibiotics exactly as directed.
- Restrict activity—use a leash for bathroom breaks, avoid stairs, jumping, or chasing.
- Watch for swelling, bleeding, vomiting, or breathing issues—reach out if anything seems off.
- Attend follow-up visits for stitch removal, healing checks, or X-rays as needed.
How long does recovery take for orthopedic surgeries like TPLO?
Recovery typically spans 8–12 weeks. Early stages require strict rest and pain management. Gradual physical therapy—including leash walks, exercises, or hydrotherapy—is introduced under vet guidance. Regular check-ins help monitor healing progress.
