THE CLIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY AND ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY COMPLICATIONS OF SURGERY, WHICH ARE BEYOND OUR CONTROL. The client is responsible for the cost of all drugs and materials used. The incision may or may not need to be re-sutured. Please contact the hospital at once if you feel your pet may have opened or infected the incision. Complications might include infection, wound dehiscence (breakdown), or sutures pulled out by the pet. We make every effort to avoid complications, but surgery complications are always possible with any procedure. This is nearly always due to over activity, and/or excessive scratching at the incision.
Your pet acts odd or seems “not right” in any other way.ĭespite best efforts, occasionally pets will manage to get their surgical wounds open and infected. Bleeding or Discharge from the surgery site. Excessive licking or chewing at surgery site. (Some mild discomfort is to be expected). Notify the hospital if any of the following complications occur: NOTE: There is an additional charge for each ear brace application. Call for an Elizabethan collar if the pup scratches or rubs excessively at the ears. Pup will board with us for ten days post surgery to maintain brace application and manage incisions. Pup must be separated from ALL other dogs until the ears are standing properly! This may take four (4) weeks to four (4) months. Please observe the following instructions: Although many “poor ear trims” are blamed on the surgery, failure of the ears to stand correctly is usually due to a defect in the anatomy of the ear or failure to follow our instructions after suture removal. In some cases, the dogs clipped ears may become infected to where amputation is required. Aftercare is most important for the ears to stand properly. While for Bull Terrier and the American Pit Bull Terriers, the standard calls for shorter ear cropping. Owner cooperation is a must otherwise the surgery can be an absolute failure. They eat more and they eat sooner, and therefore they seem to heal faster and return to normal sooner. In our observations, pets who receive post-operative pain relief seem to feel much better the next day. Occasionally, however, complications (such as increased bleeding) can occur. 
This is typically a very straightforward surgery. In this procedure, the ears are trimmed to breed standards. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia with the CO2 laser. Your pet has recently undergone major surgery to trim (“crop”) the ears for cosmetic reasons.
