Post-Operation Care

How to Care for Your Pet After Surgery:

  • Your pet should be kept warm and given a peaceful environment to begin their recovery.
  • Offer something to drink.
  • Refusal of food after anaesthetic is not uncommon and should not be a cause for alarm unless prolonged.
  • Do not allow your pet to lick, bite or scratch the wound, use a t-shirt as a barrier or a cone, which can be obtained from your vet.
  • Bandages should be kept clean and dry. You may cover it with a plastic bag during exercise.
  • Cats should be kept indoors and dogs on a lead, restriction of exercise depends on the surgery.
  • Some medication may be provided so please follow instructions accordingly.
  • Non-dissolvable stitches are to be removed 7-14 days after the operation unless otherwise indicated by your vet.

TOHOKU-PACIFIC QUAKE ANIMALS

Our priority now is on housing the remaining 16 dogs from the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, many of whom have owners, but who are unable to take them back. The area (land) where the Earthquake dogs are now housed, has been rented for many years but now due to changing circumstances of the owners, is due to be returned to them. That means there is some urgency in building new kennels for them in Sasayama. Your continuing support is appreciated.
