Dog sterilization is a relatively simple surgery and it should be OK in 1 hour. After the operation, dogs are usually in anesthesia period, their eyes can be opened and their breathing is very even. So what should dogs pay attention to after undergoing sterilization in the hospital?
1. Do not leave the hospital before the dog is fully awake after the hand anesthesia. If you still have a long period of sleepiness after temporarily awakening and returning home, it is best to take it back to the hospital in time.
2. Pay attention to keeping warm before and after waking up with anesthesia, but do not overheat, because the dog's temperature regulation ability during anesthesia is very poor.
3. When the anesthesia is not awake, the dog's eyes are open. You can use some eye drops appropriately to avoid dry cornea.
4. When the anesthesia is not awake, pay attention to the dog's breathing. If it suddenly becomes too fast, or the nostrils are flowing or bloody, it indicates that there may be pulmonary edema. You should promptly notify the doctor for emergency treatment. If breathing is weak or the interval is long, the doctor should also be notified to take resuscitation measures.
5. During the anaesthesia awakening period, some dogs may have unconscious excitement or walking. Pay attention to care and protection to avoid falling, falling or hitting.
6. Dogs should not be given diet within 8 hours after surgery to avoid choking if swallowing function does not fully recover.
7. After the operation, let the dog rest in a quiet and clean environment, keep the blade dry, and try to avoid it from tearing the blade through intense exercise. To avoid licking and biting the blade, Elizabeth's neck ring, mouth cover and other methods can be used.
8. High-quality nutritious foods should be given after the operation to promote knife healing.
9. Observe the knife edge carefully and change the dressing as required by the doctor. If there is any infection in the blade, you should take it back to the hospital in time.
10. Remove the stitches strictly in accordance with the time specified by the doctor. Professionals should do it themselves to avoid infection.
If the dog is healthy, it usually wakes up completely after 3 hours, and the stitches can be removed smoothly after 7 days, and the blade edges are so long that it is impossible to tell. Although dogs have since become "sexual dogs", the trouble of estrus mating has been greatly reduced since then, and the lifespan of dogs will be extended. So, in the long run, it's worth it.
