🐾✂️ Post-Neuter Care Essentials ✂️🐾

Neutering is a great step for your pet’s health and behavior, but proper care before and after surgery is key to a smooth recovery!

⏰ Pre-surgery tip:

• No food after 10pm the night before surgery

• No water on the morning of the procedure

• 
  

✅ What to look out for after neutering:

• Your pet may be sleepy or mildly sore for 24–48 hours

• Keep the surgical area clean and dry - generally, there is no need to clean the wound

• Watch for swelling, redness, discharge, or unusual odor around the incision

• Prevent vigorous activity or jumping for at least 7–10 days 

• 
  

🔍 How to support your pet’s recovery:

• Provide a quiet, comfortable space to rest away from other pets or kids

• Use a buster collar or alternative protective device to stop licking (VERY important)

• Follow your vet’s instructions for pain medication and check-ups

💡 If you notice bleeding, excessive swelling, lethargy, vomiting, or worrying signs, contact your vet immediately.
