Why post-surgery recovery is easy to lose track of

Recovery comes with a checklist - incision checks, rest, the cone, medication - and it's surprisingly easy to lose count of doses or forget when you last looked at the site.

Subtle changes at the incision can matter, but day-to-day it's hard to remember whether today looks different from yesterday.

If you do need to call the clinic, vague answers about activity and the incision slow things down - clear notes help.

Frequently asked questions

How long does spay or neuter recovery take?
Recovery time varies by dog and procedure and is set by your veterinarian. This app only helps you log it - follow your vet's specific guidance.
What should I watch at the incision site?
Note anything your vet told you to watch for and any change you observe. If you're worried about how the site looks, contact your clinic rather than waiting.
Why log activity and rest?
Activity restriction is a common part of recovery instructions, so tracking walks and rest helps you follow your vet's plan and report accurately.
When should I call the vet?
Follow the guidance your clinic gave you, and contact them with any concern. The app's export can make that call faster, but it isn't a substitute for it.
Does this app give medical advice?
No. It does not diagnose or treat any condition. Always consult a licensed veterinarian for your dog's surgery recovery and any concerns.
