  10. E-Collars/Cones We highly recommend that all animals wear an E-Collar for 7 days after surgery to prevent them from licking their incisions! Licking a post-surgical incision will allow bacteria into the incision site and can cause severe infection. ** The exceptions to this rule are Male cats or any Outdoor/Feral Cat

  11. Your Animal should be able to Eat and Sleep with their Cones on….. If they are unable to figure this out, you may take it off while they are eating, but you must watch them the entire time and replace the cone when they are done.

  12. Offer your Pet Normal Food & Water when you get home

  13. Though your Pet may not be hungry tonight (this is normal), Do NOT offer them anything extraNO treats or table scrapsRegular eating habits should return within 24-48 hours

  14. Pain Medication • Dogs will go home with 3 Days worth of Pain Medication • You should begin giving this medication Noon or later tomorrow • Instructions will be on the bottle • Cats do NOT go home with Pain Medication • They have Pain Medication in their system that will slowly metabolize over the next 3 days
