HOMECARE NOTES: AFTER DENTAL


VIEW PRINT VERSION

•  Keep your cat in a warm spot indoors for the first 24 hours with a litter tray, water and food within easy reach.

•  Offer your cat only a small amount of soft food when first home- they may not feel like eating much while not fully recovered from the anaesthetic. It is best to offer something your cat is used to that is not too rich.

•  It sometimes takes a day or two before full recovery from the general anaesthetic; if your cat seems to take any longer than this please give the surgery a phone call.

•  For the first few days your cat may only feel like eating soft food especially if any teeth have been removed. However if dry food is a particular favourite, have some available for when they feel ready for it.

•  Antibiotics are usually dispensed after a dental. It is very important that you give any medications as directed until finished. If you have any problems in giving medication to your cat, please give us a call immediately

•  If you have any other questions please feel free to phone us for advice!
