If your pet licks or chews at the stitches an e-collar is recommended. Pets should be observed for licking or chewing at the stitches.If there is excessive swelling, call the surgical line.Male animals may experience a fluid buildup in the scrotum which contained the testicles.Male cats do not have any visible external suture.Female animals may have some swelling under the incision due to an internal layer of absorbable sutures.This prevents the litter from sticking to the incision. We suggest placing shredded newspaper on top of the kitty litter for three days.Your pet may not feel like playing the first night. Separate them from other animals and small children. Confine cats to one small room for the first night.We suggest walking dogs on the leash for the first week. Debris, dirt, germs, or damage from flies could harm the surgical area. Do not allow your pet to run around the yard for seven days. Call us on the surgical line if vomiting is excessive or continues for more than 24 hours.

This may last 24-48 hours depending on the individual animal.

Your pet may be drowsy from the anesthesia.

Do not be alarmed if s/he doesn’t eat the first day.

Feed your pet a small meal and water when you get home.

Due to rising costs of Medical Waste Collection, we must add a surcharge of $3 per pet/ per appointment for most medical appointments.Rabies vaccination proof must be in certificate form, a rabies tag does not qualify. Bring your pets current vaccination records with you at the time of check-in. If you cannot provide this or your pet needs these vaccinations AWA will provide them at an additional expense.

At the time of surgery AWA requires proof that dogs and cats are current with their Distemper (DAPPv/FVRCP) and Rabies vaccinations.

Surgery must be performed within 30 days of bloodwork.

Please note: All pets 7 years of age and older require blood work prior to surgery.

Feral cats must be brought into the clinic in a feral trap with a towel over the trap for safety.

Please be patient: we receive hundreds of phone calls and appointment requests each day, and answer each one in the order received.

You need to have an appointment in order to have your pet spayed or neutered.

When away from AWA Liz enjoys time on her farm with her son, husband and a house and barn yard of animals. Her goal is to eventually secure the title of “Behaviorist,” a title reserved for only a few hundred trainers in the US. With a strong focus on behavior and behavior modification she was able to increase the number of animal lives saved and lower animal relinquishments to that animal shelter. She also volunteered and assisted with behavior modification at an open-admission high volume animal shelter on Long Island, NY. The love of teaching others has helped Liz in her designing AWA’s staff and volunteer training program as well as in developing a future dog trainer mentoring program for college students.īefore joining AWA in 2015 Liz was an independent dog trainer focusing on problem behavior solving at the Dog Lady Dog Training. The topics covered in AWA’s community workshops are diverse: Listening to Your Dog for Girl Scout to Zoom sessions at Medford Leas about Clicker Training Cats to Proper Leash Walking and At Home Enrichment Toys 101 for the public. To this Liz also teaches community workshops and public dog training classes. Ensuring the animals at AWA stay mentally and physically healthy is critical to AWA’s work. Liz designs and implements effective behavior modification plans to achieve behaviorally health animals within the shelter environment. She specializes in finding solutions for behavioral challenged dogs, cats and small animals.
