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.
For the normal pain that is associated with tooth extraction, you can simply take over-the-counter painkillers such as Ibuprofen. This should help in any slight or normal pain after tooth extraction. Keep monitoring any pain or discomfort and if you are ever worried about it, contact your dentist immediately.
