The recovery process after spaying or neutering is generally straightforward and manageable. Pets typically require a few days to two weeks to heal fully. During this time, it's crucial to limit their activity to prevent complications such as wound opening. Monitoring the incision site daily for signs of infection, such as redness or swelling, is essential. Your pet may need to wear a cone to prevent licking or biting the area. Pain management, prescribed by your veterinarian, will help keep your pet comfortable during the recovery period. Regular follow-up checks ensure a smooth healing process.
