After surgery, careful recovery is vital to avoid complications and ensure your pet heals smoothly. This video explains the steps you can take at home to make recovery easier and more comfortable. With the right support, most pets bounce back quickly and safely.
At-Home Recovery:
✔ Provide a quiet space with limited movement.
✔ Monitor the surgical site daily for swelling or discharge.
✔ Follow feeding instructions and any prescribed medication.
When to Contact a Vet:
✔ Persistent swelling, bleeding, or foul-smelling discharge.
✔ Loss of appetite, vomiting, or unusual behaviour.
✔ Excessive licking or scratching at the wound.
Amity’s team will guide you through every step of recovery and arrange follow-up checks to ensure your pet is healing well.
Most pets need 7–14 days of rest depending on the procedure.
Only short, gentle walks if approved by the vet — avoid running or jumping.
Only if advised. Some wounds heal best when lightly covered, others when exposed.
