In order to make dogs live healthier, many shovelers choose to sterilize their dogs. After the dogs have completed sterilization surgery, we need to do the following points to give them special care and care to ensure that they can recover quickly and regain vitality.
1. Keep the wound dry and clean After the dog has undergone sterilization, our first priority is to ensure that the wound remains dry and clean. Therefore, the shoveler should regularly replace the dog with clean gauze or bandages, and limit its movement during the dog's recovery to prevent excessive activity from causing wound infection or cracking. If you observe abnormal conditions such as redness, swelling, exudates, etc. in the wound, you should seek help from a veterinarian immediately.
2. Limit the dog's range of movement
The shoveler should limit the range of movement of the dog after sterilization to avoid vigorous exercise or jumping to prevent adverse effects on the wound. In this regard, Xiao Ai suggests that you should provide your dog with a quiet and comfortable environment and ensure that it has enough rest time, which will help speed up the dog's recovery process~
3. Pay attention to environmental sanitation
In addition to the above methods, keeping the dog's living environment clean and hygienic is also the key to preventing wound infection! The shoveler should regularly clean food utensils and toys to ensure that the living environment of the dog is clean and hygienic. At the same time, avoid contacting dogs with dirty environments and other diseased animals to reduce the risk of infection!
4. Dogs are prohibited from licking wounds
After sterilization surgery, dogs may also lick their wounds out of natural reactions, which can easily lead to wound infection. Therefore, the shoveler should wear an Elizabethan ring on the dog to prevent it from licking the wound. In addition, due to the prone to pain in the postoperative wound, dogs may experience emotional instability. In this case, the shoveler can also consult the veterinarian and prescribe analgesic drugs to relieve discomfort in the dog.
5. Arrange your diet reasonably
Finally, while doing the above care, don’t forget to supplement your dog with nutrition! You can prepare some high-protein, easy-to-digestible foods for your dog, such as cooked chicken breasts, fish, etc. In addition, the dog's diet should be maintained to avoid food residues contaminating the wound.
In short, during the dog's post-sterilization recovery process, the patience and care of the shoveler are crucial, and everyone must take good care of their dogs.
