Post-Surgical Recovery Monitoring

The riskiest hours of recovery happen at home — after your patient leaves.

How it works in your practice

  • At discharge, send home a rental Ring camera or have the client point their own camera at the recovery area or crate.
  • The AI watches for the moments that cause complications: E-collar (cone) removal, licking or chewing at the incision, pulling at stitches or a feeding tube, not eating or drinking, unusual lethargy or restlessness.
  • The owner gets an instant alert; your practice gets a recovery report — before a complication becomes a readmission.

Why it matters

8.7% of dogs develop a surgical site infection after soft-tissue surgery — and when one occurs, post-surgical costs jump 142%.

Veterinary Record Open, 2019

77% of owners say the cone reduces their pet's quality of life and 60% report trouble drinking — the top reasons cones come off early, exposing the incision.

Animals, 2020, 'The Cone of Shame'

After TPLO, infections occurred in 8.5% of procedures and 65% of those required implant removal.
