Hello, thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. You do not need to feed Coach anything special for his surgery, it is always best not to change things up too much. He should receive proper pain medications that should keep him very comfortable, & this will do more to prevent nausea & loss of appetite than anything else. He should do just fine. Take care.
