​Aftercare instructions are emailed to you from Young-Williams Spay/Neuter Solutions.  Please read it carefully.  

It is very important that you keep your pet warm, safe and dry for at least 72 hours.  They have been given general anesthesia and it takes about 24 hours for their body temperature to get back to normal.

​​

Cats receive their pain medication at the facility prior to coming back.  Cats may act a little weird for a few days after surgery.  This is normal. 

Dogs receive pain medication at the facility and some is sent home with the dog. Pain medicine was administered to your pet so they should be comfortable for the first 24 hours.  DO NOT GIVE them any human pain medication without consulting with a vet.​​

​

The incision has been closed with internal stitches that will dissolve. Surgical glue has been applied on the top of the incision.  Follow the aftercare instructions carefully for care of the incision site.  Most importantly, do not bathe your pet for a week.​​

 Offer them water and bland food when they get home but do not force.   Their appetite should return to normal within 24 hours.  ​​

If your pet was pregnant or in heat, it is critical that you keep them away from males for 10-14 days.  If they are mounted, it can cause severe internal damage.​​

 For questions directly related to the surgery call Young Williams Spay Neuter Solutions Clinic 865-433-3499.
