I wanted to share some insights on post-operative care for small animals, especially regarding pain management and monitoring incisions. Ensuring that we keep track of any signs of infection or discomfort can make a huge difference in recovery. I usually check the incision site every 24 hours and keep a close eye on their appetite and behavior. Anyone else have techniques or experiences to share?
I also check the incision daily, but I use a pet-safe antiseptic to be extra cautious. It helps prevent any potential infection. Has anyone else tried that?
I’ve found keeping them in a quiet, stress-free environment really helps with recovery. It’s amazing how much a calm space can reduce their anxiety. @sophieM56, have you noticed a difference when you do that?
