Spay/neuter post-surgical care and recovery instructions
Recommended: Elizabethan collar (also called an E-collar or cone)
To prevent irritating the incision, we recommend you purchase an Elizabethan collar (E-collar) to keep your pet from being able to reach the area with their mouth.
These cone collars are the most effective protection against your pet causing trauma to their incision, and should be worn for 10-14 days following surgery.
E-collars can be purchased from AHS or at most pet stores.
They're only effective if fitted properly. The cone should go past your pet’s nose by two inches. If it's any shorter, they're likely still able to reach their incision.
Alternatives to E-collars
If your pet won't tolerate an E-collar, consider one of the following options:
- Onesies for female dogs or cats
- Onesies are bodysuits for infants and can be purchased at any superstore (like Target or Walmart).
Typically onesies are short sleeved and button in the pelvis area.
- Sizing: Small kittens (four to five pounds) require a newborn size; adult cats or puppies under eight
