Surgery goes well.
The incision looks neat.
Your pet seems โback to normal.โ
And thatโs exactly where things go wrong.
One of the biggest post-op mistakes we see isnโt infection, itโs too much activity, too soon.
Because pain meds donโt just reduce painโฆ they mask it.
So your dog jumps.
Your cat stretches, twists, launches off furniture.
And the tissues underneath - the ones still trying to knit back together - arenโt ready.
Thatโs when we see:
โข Wound breakdown
โข Internal inflammation
โข Delayed healing
โข Thick, tight, painful scars that cause issues months later
Healing isnโt just about the skin closing.
Itโs about respecting the timeline of tissue repair.
If recovery feels boring, youโre probably doing it right.
Had a surgery recovery that didnโt go as planned? Letโs talk.
