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.
Once your tooth extraction has been completed, your dentist should provide you with two sets of aftercare instructions. 1  One will cover things to do (and not to do) during the first 24 hours after having your tooth pulled. 2  The other will be recovery instructions for the days that follow.
