Thank you for reaching out with your question about whether to proceed with the operation for your pet. It's completely understandable to feel unsure about making such decisions.
Whether to go ahead with surgery largely depends on the specifics of your pet’s condition, their overall health, and the prognosis if the operation is successful. Common reasons for surgery might include removal of a tumor, fixing broken bones, or even spaying/neutering. Consider the potential benefits of the surgery, which could improve your pet's quality of life or even be life-saving.
In terms of at-home care, you can make the recovery easier by preparing a calm and comfortable space for your pet, ensuring they have a soft place to rest post-operation. Encourage gentle activity as recommended by your vet to aid healing, and maintain a healthy, balanced diet.
Watch out for any signs of infection or complications after surgery, such as excessive swelling, redness at the incision site, or prolonged lack of appetite. If you notice these signs, it’s crucial to seek veterinary help promptly.
I recommend scheduling a video consult with Dial A Vet to discuss all concerns and get personalized advice. Talking with a vet can give you peace of mind and help you make the best decision for your furry friend's health and happiness.

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
