The day of your pet's procedure often contains a lot of information and emotions. Review the basic information below, as it contains the most pertinent information you will need on the day of surgery.
Cat Care
1) Please stay in your vehicle when you arrive at 8am. Avoid a late fee by arriving before 8:30am!
No need to call when you arrive, we will come to you.
2) Overactivity and self-trauma of the incision (licking or scratching) are the most common causes of post-surgical reactions. Keep your pet in a small, confined area to reduce activity levels. Ensure your pet cannot lick the incision (use a cone collar, surgical suit, donut collar, etc.). We have plastic cones at the clinic for purchase.
3) Pro tip: Take a picture of the incision the night after surgery so you have a reference point later.
4) Only use dust-free litter for 7 days after surgery to avoid irritation of the incision.
5) Questions about the incision?
