Post Operative Instructions

  • No running, jumping, playing, swimming, or other strenuous activity for 7 to 10 days. Keep the Animal quiet. Animals must be kept indoors where they can stay clean, dry and warm. No baths during the recovery period. Dogs must be walked on a leash and cats must be kept indoors.

  • Check the incision site twice daily. Females should have no drainage. Redness and swelling should be minimal. Do not allow the Animal to lick or chew at the incision. If this occurs, an Elizabethan collar MUST be applied to prevent additional licking and chewing that could cause infection.

  • If your dog had a scrotal castration, they may have small amounts of drainage/discharge for up to three days.

  • Appetite should return gradually within 24 hours of surgery. Lethargy lasting for more than 24 hours post-op, diarrhea, or vomiting are not normal and the Animal should be rechecked by YHSSNC or taken to your regular veterinarian. Dogs may have a slight cough for a few days after surgery due to endotracheal tube placement.

  • Do not change the Animal’s diet at this time, and do not give them junk food, table scraps, milk, or any other people food during the recovery period. Feeding them their regular diet will help avoid gastro-intestinal upset.

  • If the Animal received a vaccine at our clinic other than rabies, please discuss a “booster” vaccine with your regular veterinarian. Canine distemper/parvo vaccine and feline distemper vaccine may need to be “boostered” 3 to 4 weeks after administration of the first vaccine for maximum effectiveness, depending on the age and health of the Animal.

  • If there are any questions or concerns directly related to the surgery during the recovery period, please call YHSSNC office at (509) 426-2460 or email spay@yakimahumane.org.

  • If there is an emergency after hours, contact your regular veterinarian at your own expense.

  • We will make every reasonable effort to treat at OUR CLINIC, at minimal cost, any post-operative complications resulting directly from the surgery, if the above post-operative instructions are followed in full. Your regular veterinarian must address illnesses or injuries that are not a direct result of surgery. Please call for an appointment as soon as you see cause for concern.

  • Administer medications as prescribed.
