SayulitAnimals Spay & Neuter Program

There are a few things you can to do make the process as pain-free as possible, for both you and your pet.

1. Call 329-291-3974 or drop by our office to set up your appointment.
2. Make sure the dog or cat has NO FOOD and VERY LITTLE WATER, at least 8 hours prior to surgery.
3. Bring the animal to the clinic between 9:30-10:30am. NOTE: If you bring the animal in after 10:30am, you will lose your appointment.
4. Try to bring a collar and leash for dogs, a secure container with air holes for cats, and a blanket or towel for after the surgery.
5. When you pick up the animal, don’t leave without one of our AFTER CARE information sheets!
6. Finally, help us continue to offer this service to the community by making a donation on behalf of the animal.

Please follow these instructions:

1. Put your pet in a safe, clean place in your house until it is fully-recovered from the anesthesia. Your pet will be tired after the operation and will need up to 48 hours to recover.
2. Don’t let your pet lick the wound. Use a cone if necessary.
3. Your pet mustn’t run, swim or bathe for a week after the operation.
4. Check the wound daily. Some swelling or redness is normal, but pus is a sign of infection, and must be treated by a Veterinarian.
5. Stitches don’t need to be removed, as they will dissolve as the wound heals.

WARNING SIGNS TO LOOK-OUT FOR:

• Not eating after 48 hours.
• Lethargic, low energy, sadness after 48 hours.
• Excessive swelling and redness in wound, or signs of pus.

NOTE: If you see any of these warning signs, please immediately contact your personal Vet or take your animal to the nearest Veterinarian. See vet info below!
