Why post-surgery recovery is hard to manage

Pain and other post-op medications often run on different schedules that are easy to confuse.

Daily incision checks are easy to forget once the routine settles in.

Without notes, it is hard to tell your vet whether recovery is on track or something changed.

When to contact a vet immediately

A tracker is for patterns over time — it is not for emergencies. Contact a veterinarian or an emergency clinic right away if your pet has difficulty breathing, collapses or cannot stand, has a seizure that does not stop or seizures that repeat, is straining to urinate without producing urine, has severe bleeding, or may have swallowed something toxic (see ASPCA Animal Poison Control).
