Hiya

We are trying to expand our care sheets too! Slowly lol!

So far we have standard post op, which can be ammended, post op bunny, cat castrate, general neuter, dental, cruciate (v similar to above), thyroidectomy (signs of hypocalcaemia etc) and an extra leaflet on bandage care.

A bit of a haphazard collection I know, but we are working on it!

Dont know if you do many orthopaedic procedures in your practice, but we have one on post op following cruciate, showing pics of anatomy of the knee and explaining about the cruciate ligament, it also gives post op instructions on care and exercise following the procedure.

Another one I have found really useful is the bland diet information sheet following parvo or general enteritis cases where the patient was hospitalised.

We also have a diabetic protocol handout for owners, detailing a step by step daily procedure on feeding & injecting insulin.

Hope this helps

Virbac do really good charts which have the mouth on the for dogs and cats. I use them, just give them a ring for any literature and charts.

We have a general post operative care handout, we have a dog castrate and bitch spey. Can modify general one for anything.

We have post-op sheets for cat castrate, general surgery (inc other neutering) and rabbit GA. I've found we don't need anything more involved as the general ones cover post-op care, feeding, bandaging, wound care, medication etc, and we can delete as appropriate.
