Each surgical procedure needs to be different, for example, you cannot use multiple dental patients.
Do not submit pre-made or “canned” hospital discharge instructions given to the client at patient discharge. This needs to be a written description of the details you discussed with the client at discharge and why the point was important. The following points should be discussed but are not limited to:
Food/ water restrictions
Incision care
Activity restrictions
Bathing
Medications
Bandages
Potential post surgical complications
Example: You need to discuss how to check and care for the incision. Why it is important to take proper care of the incision
Why should the pet be prevented from licking it
What can happen if it is not properly cared for
