Pain Management After Surgery
Pain management becomes particularly important after your pet has surgery. When recovering from invasive proceedures, animals may be not only in pain but also weak and disoriented. The very best thing you can do for your furry friend after he/she has come home, is follow your vet’s instructions very carefully. If your vet prescribes a pain killer, administer it as directed. If you have any questions or if a problem should arise, contact your vet immediately.
Before you pick up your pet, make sure you have a clean, warm, comfortable bed to help him/her rest. Then keep your pet quiet and relaxed so he/she has time to heal without getting stressed or causing further injury. Also make sure you keep your furbaby from picking at the stitches. Many vets will recommend a special collar or lamp shade looking device that will help reduce the temptation. Always be attentive, loving and affectionate while your pet recovers. This comfort and attention may be the best medicine you can give and just what the doctor ordered.
When looking for a Pet Memorial Headstone, select one that makes a personal tribute to your lost loved one and will bring years of lasting memories.
