Day 1 focuses on eating/drinking willingness, pain signals, and whether urine/stool happened—quantity optional but presence matters.
Mid-first week shift attention to wound/dressing appearance, willingness to move, and whether home meds match the printed sheet.
Around day seven capture clinician conclusions or suture removal notes in one sentence; day fourteen contrasts “normal life” vs pre-op.
Pair these notes with weight and medication entries in the same pet profile so filters stay coherent.
Node checklist (can be one long note if dates stay visible)
- D1: appetite, pain/hiding, urine/stool present or not
- D3: wound/dressing, willingness to move, meds executed as written
- D7: suture removal or recheck conclusion in one sentence
- D14: difference vs pre-op routine; next follow-up date
Unlike scene articles, this emphasizes a continuous dated axis in one pet profile so it filters with weight and meds.
