Icing an Incision

If your pet has recently had surgery, icing their incision for a few days after surgery will help keep the swelling down and help with their recovery. Dina, who is our surgical release technician, demonstrates how to ice an incision.

Ice for orthopedic surgery, warmth for drainage (like abscess) right? What is the difference between “excision site” and incision site? Should the ice pack be kept as aseptic as possible (that is if surgical site is not covered by bandage)? I’ve heard of using an autoclave bag or Idexx bag to avoid infection (for the first 2 - 3 days at least).
