You should carefully follow the veterinarian's postoperative recommendations for your pet dog or cat after a spaying or neutering procedure, which may include several pain-relieving medications, to address your pet's excruciating discomfort after surgery.

Here are some pointers on how you can assist your pet to have a painless and speedy recovery:

• Give your pet a quiet area to recuperate indoors, isolated from other pets.

• Do not let your pet run or jump for at least two weeks after surgery.

• Distract your pet with food or use a pet cone to keep it from licking the wound site, which might lead to infection.

• Wait at least ten days following surgery before washing your pet.

• Check the operated part regularly to ensure that it is healing correctly.

If you see any swelling, redness, or discharge on the surgery site or the wound is open, do not hesitate to get in touch with your veterinarian. Let your veterinarian Collingswood, NJ know if, after the surgery, your pet is weak, has a poor appetite, vomiting, diarrhea, or other issues following surgery.
