Section: Follow-up
Optimal treatment for your pet requires a combination of home and professional veterinary care. Follow-up can be critical, especially if your pet does not rapidly improve.
Administer all prescribed medications as directed. Alert your veterinarian if you are experiencing problems treating your pet.
Closely follow your veterinarian's instructions for post-operative care, including exercise restriction for one to two weeks. This allows the incision to heal.
Use an Elizabethan collar on your pet to prevent licking at the surgery site.
