✅ YOUR CHECK LIST BELOW OF 5 AFTER CARE TIPS you need to know after your dog's ovariohysterectomy or spay surgery:
Your pet will be soar, but dog's have a way different pain tolerance than we do and she will still try to sprint after that squirrel so number one is:

1. Limit their activity for 10 to 14 days or 2 weeks. At least for the first week be as strick at possible to not let your dog Run, Jump, definitely no swimming, no going up stairs, and no jumping on furniture. Controlled leash walks only.

The easiest way to confine your dog is to keep them in their crate during this time and take them out 34x a day for short walks. If your dog is extremely energetic ask your veterinarian for extra sedatives to help keep your dog calm during the healing process. I like to use Trazadone or Gabapentin, or maybe holistic CBD or Melatonion/ Tryptophan calming chews.

2. Keep the cone of shame on – or monitor them 24\7 not to lick at their incision or scratch it. This is SO HARD. But I believe in you!!! haha – put the cone on if you want!

3. Check the incision 2x a day and keep it dry and clean. A normal incision may be swollen and red for the first 3 days. Normal clear oozing fluid is ok.

Not normal incision sites will be: Visible Bright red blood and excessive bleeding. Brusing around the incision site. Green Pus discharged. Removed or torn open sutures by your pet or pets activity. Bring your pet in right away for the incision to be checked if you are worried at all!

4. Don’t miss medications. Your Veterinarian will give you Antibiotics to prevent infection and antiinflammatory medications. Make sure to give them to your pet.

5. Call your veterinarian whenever you are concerned or bring your dog in for them to check the incision site. Most Veterinarians will schedule a recheck 1 week after their surgery and then Sutures are removed at 14 days post – operation. I hope this video helped you feel comfortable after your pets spay to take care of them!
