The recovery of dog sterilization surgery is not necessarily the same for each dog. Generally, male dogs recover much faster than female dogs because they are external surgery and have not touched the abdominal cavity. The female dog will touch the intestines and internal organs, but to avoid wound infection, it is very important to keep the wound dry. It should not be wet or bathed.
In addition, do not let the dog lick the wound, because "licking" will cause the wound to become inflamed, swollen, or even bite. If such a situation occurs, you must take it back to the animal hospital and help it re-sew it. The female dog's wound is very long, it is best if someone can accompany it in the first two or three days and prevent it from licking the wound. Give it a piece of clothing that can cover the wound, or give it a "Elizabeth collar". On the day of the operation, because you have to be on an empty stomach for 12 hours, it is best not to eat immediately after taking it home. The anesthetic has not completely failed and will swallow it all at once, and you will still vomit. During sterilization, the female dog will move to the abdominal cavity and even the intestines may be turned out. Therefore, you must wait until the first time you defecate before giving it a normal diet. Before you have no stool, you can only feed it half of the daily dose, so as not to eat too much, your intestines will become knotted and your abdominal pain will be inexplicably painful. Be careful.
In fact, during sterilization surgery, the dog will shed at most 2 ml of blood, and there is no need to supplement special nutritional supplements. After the operation, a wound recovery period takes 7 to 10 days. The animal doctor will prescribe oral anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs to the dog, and then take them back to the animal hospital to check whether the stitches can be removed. When the dog recovers well and removes the stitches, you can take a shower and everything is OK.
