Castration (sterilization) - removal of the gonads and reproductive organs of an animal - is a rather serious operation. After it, complications are possible that can adversely affect the further life of the four-legged. Rapid recovery and rehabilitation often depends on competent and thorough postoperative care, especially in the first week after surgery.
It is necessary
Convenient carrying bag or box, box, warm blanket, disposable diapers, diaper (diaper), sanitary napkins, water, diet food, brilliant green
Instructions
Step 1
After you have taken the animal out of the operating room, place your pet in a convenient bag - carrier or box, box. The four-legged will probably still be under anesthesia, so make sure that breathing is even and that your head does not throw back. This measure is necessary for the normal supply of oxygen to the body. The eyes will be in a half-open state - the animal will need to be helped to blink or instill a drug that replaces the natural tear. This must be done to prevent drying out of the eyes. You need to put the animal so that nothing fetters its body and the postoperative suture is outside.
Step 2
In the car, it is necessary to open the windows so that there is a constant supply of fresh air, but there is no draft. It is advisable to drive the car carefully, bypassing all bumps and holes, and avoid shaking. Sensitivity after surgery is one hundred times stronger than normal.
Step 3
At home, the animal needs to create comfortable conditions in the postoperative period. The four-legged is very bad, and possibly inappropriate behavior. After about 2-3 hours, the animal is already able to get up on its paws, although coordination will be severely impaired. The four-legged will stagger, fall, perhaps even crash into a wall - try to prevent this from happening. To do this, equip a cozy place on the floor, to avoid falling from a height, lay a warm and soft blanket, put your favorite toy or pet item next to it.
Step 4
Particular attention should be paid to the hygiene of the animal. When your pet wants to use the toilet, it will look for a comfortable place. Spread a disposable absorbent diaper on him and put on a diaper (diaper), this will help to avoid unpleasant odors and create a comfortable environment for emptying the four-legged. Another unpleasant moment is salivation. It is necessary to wipe the animal's face with sanitary napkins that do not contain alcohol. This state will not last long and after a few (from 2 to 8) hours the animal will be able to independently carry out its hygiene and toilet.
Step 5
4-5 hours after the operation, the animal can be given a little food - low-fat broth, dietary meat, porridge or special ready-made feed. You can give your pet water to drink as soon as thirst begins to torment him. The animal will return to its normal state approximately 12-18 hours after the operation.
Step 6
The postoperative suture must be treated daily with brilliant green or another drug, which will be prescribed by a veterinarian. Two days after the operation, it is necessary to take the animal to the clinic for examination of the suture and the general condition of the animal. Antibiotics may be prescribed if needed. Gradually, the pet will return to the daily rhythm of life and will faithfully serve its owner.
