Precautions after dog sterilization

1. Do not leave the hospital before your dog fully wakes up from anesthesia after surgery. If you still feel drowsy for a long time after temporarily waking up and going home, it is best to take him back to the hospital in time.

2. Keep warm before and after recovery from anesthesia, but do not overheat, because the dog's body temperature regulation ability is very poor during anesthesia.

3. When the dog is not awake from anesthesia, the dog's eyes are open, so some eye drops can be used appropriately to avoid drying of the cornea.

4. When the dog is not awake from anesthesia, pay attention to the dog's breathing. If it suddenly becomes too fast or there is water or blood-colored substance in the nostrils, it may indicate pulmonary edema, and you should immediately notify the doctor for emergency treatment. If the breathing is very weak or has long intervals, the doctor should also be notified to take resuscitation measures.

5. During the recovery period from anesthesia, some dogs may be unconsciously excited or walking. Pay attention to care and protection to avoid falling, falling or being bruised.

6. The dog should not be given food or drink within 8 hours after surgery to avoid choking due to incomplete recovery of swallowing function.

7. After the operation, let the dog rest in a quiet and clean environment, keep the incision dry, and try to avoid the dog from tearing the incision due to strenuous exercise. To prevent it from licking the incision, you can use Elizabeth collars, mouth masks, etc. .

8. High-quality nutritious food should be given after surgery to promote incision healing.

9. Observe the incision carefully and change the dressing as required by the doctor. If infection is found at the incision, it should be taken back to the hospital promptly.

10. Sutures should be removed strictly according to the time prescribed by the doctor. It should be done by professionals. Do not do it yourself to avoid infection.

Things to note before dog sterilization

1. The dog should be in good health before surgery. If the dog has a disease, the doctor must be informed in advance of the surgery so that the doctor can weigh the pros and cons.

2. Make sure the female dog is in the period of estrus. If the female dog is about to go into estrus or is in a state of bleeding from estrus, she should not be operated on. The surgery must be performed two months after the vaginal bleeding stops. Because the uterus of a female dog in estrus will become thicker and more brittle, and blood vessels will proliferate, increasing the risk of surgery.

3. Dogs should fast for 8 to 12 hours and drink for 4 to 6 hours before surgery to avoid increased risk of vomiting induced by surgical anesthesia. It is best to give the dog a bath 2 to 3 days before surgery to keep it clean and reduce infection.

4. If the dog has any problems after the operation, it can be hospitalized for observation 1 to 2 days after the operation.
