No bathing or strenuous exercise. Following cataract surgery (in people as well as dogs) there is no significant discomfort, thus pain medication is not necessary. Additional re-examinations will be scheduled at 1, 2, 4, and 6 weeks after the cataract surgery and additionally as needed.
Soft foods recommended for the first few days after tooth extraction include yogurt, puddings, cool soups, mashed potatoes and ice cream, notes St. Louis County Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It is best to avoid hard and crunchy foods for at least a week.
A Dr. Jerry P. Gordon, DMD , Dentist, answered. Yes, but I advise my patients not to eat anything too hot, spicy, or crunchy for 24 hours after an extraction. Do not drink through a straw for 24 hours after a tooth has been pulled because it can unseat the clot and make you more susceptible to a dry socket.
