The dog was spayed in the hospital, What should I pay attention to?

The neutering of dogs is a relatively simple operation, and it should be ok in 1 hour. After the operation, the dog is generally under anesthesia, the eyes can be opened, and the breathing is very even. So what should you pay attention to after the dog is neutered in the hospital?

1. Do not leave the hospital until the dog is fully awake after anesthesia. If there is still a long-term drowsiness after being temporarily awake and returning home, it is best to take it back to the hospital in time.

2. Keep warm before and after recovery from anesthesia, but do not overheat, because the dog's ability to regulate body temperature is poor during anesthesia.

3. When the dog's eyes are open when anesthesia is not awake, some eye drops can be used appropriately to avoid corneal drying.

4. When the anesthesia is not awake, pay attention to observe the dog's breathing. If it is suddenly too fast or the nostrils are running water or bloody substances, it indicates that there may be pulmonary edema, and the doctor should be notified immediately. Weak breathing or long intervals should also notify the doctor for resuscitation.

5. During the recovery period of anesthesia, some dogs may have unconscious excitement or walking phenomenon, pay attention to care and protection to avoid falling, falling or bruising.

6. Dogs should not be given food within 8 hours after the operation, so as to avoid choking due to incomplete recovery of swallowing function.

7. After the operation, let the dog rest in a quiet and clean environment, keep the knife edge dry, and try to avoid tearing the knife edge due to strenuous exercise. masks, etc.

8. High-quality nutritious food should be given after surgery to promote wound healing.

9. Carefully observe the incision and change the dressing as required by the doctor. If you find that the incision is infected, you should take it back to the hospital in time.

10. The stitches should be removed in strict accordance with the time prescribed by the doctor, and should be carried out by professionals. Do not do it yourself to avoid infection.

If the dog is healthy, it will be fully awake after 3 hours, and the stitches will be removed after 7 days, and the incision will not be visible. Although the dog has since become a sexless dog, the distress of mating in heat has been greatly reduced since then, and the dog's lifespan will be extended. So, in the long run, it's worth it.
