Spaying
After spaying procedures, some clinics will want to keep your cat or dog overnight, while others will let them go home the same day. The rule of thumb is generally 7-10 days of restricted activity.
Neutering
If there are no complications or other health issues, your dog or cat can usually go home the same day of the procedure, with a few days of restricted activity while the incision heals.
For both procedures, we may send your pet home with a protective collar to keep them from licking the incision.
We typically book a follow-up visit to check on how well your pet has healed and to remove the stitches.
