Q: How much pain will my pet feel from being spayed or neutered? A: Your pet will feel no pain during the procedure. Veterinarians perform spay and neuter surgeries under a general anesthetic. AAID uses isoflurane which is the gentler anesthesia, and we also give pain relieving injections to EVERY animal before and after surgery for no additional charge. Any discomfort your pet may experience is minimal, short-term and outweighed by future health benefits. Young cats and dogs generally recover more quickly than older ones. And almost all healthy pets of any age return to normal activity within 3 days, but you should limit their activity for a week to ensure they don’t aggravate the incision. And don’t let them lick the incision either; that’s how most infections happen. We strongly recommend a recovery collar and we have them available at the clinic at nominal prices.

Q: HOW CAN I PROTECT MY BODY THIS WINTER? A: Winter can be a challenge even for the healthiest of bodies. Keep hydrated. The tendency in cool weather is to drink less water even though air tends to be much drier.A good night’s sleep will improve your overall stamina. Bundle up with warm light weight clothing to keep muscles warm and flexible. Avoid exposing sensitive areas such as neck and low back to the cold. Heat can help keep muscles flexible – another good reason to use that hot tub! Stretch in the mornings, at bed time and intermittently throughout the day - especially before workouts. You may be stiffer than you think. Reaching and twisting with a stiff back and slips on the ice are major causes of wrist, shoulder and back injuries or fractures. Supportive shoes with good traction or some of the pull on tread devices help you avoid slipping. If you must work from a ladder, make extra sure the equipment is stable. Warm up, stretch and take breaks when snow shoveling. Give yourself time! Things take a bit longer in the winter, so listen to Mother Nature and slow down a bit. If you fall, injure yourself or just feel stiff, listen to your body. If you are in pain, rest, muscle relaxers and pain relievers may help, but often injuries result from stiffness, postural misalignment or soft tissue tightness. Therapy can help you release tightness, reduce pain and regain postural alignment. Your therapist can also help you learn body mechanics and how to modify activity or use a different tool to help you heal and reduce chance of re-injury. Take care of yourself now so you’ll be in great shape when spring does finally decide to come!!
