The face of someone who would like to speak to management about the cone. 😂
After anesthesia, it’s normal for your pet to be a little sleepy, groggy or less interested in food while the medications wear off. Some pets can also experience nausea, which is why we may recommend starting with a smaller meal once they’re awake, alert and ready to eat.
A quiet evening, limited activity and following those post-op instructions (yes, including wearing the cone!) can help make recovery a little easier. Every patient and procedure is different, so always follow the instructions your veterinary team sends home with your pet.
And if something doesn’t seem right during recovery, give us a call. We’re here to help. 910-799-4500
