| I had to look this up from 2006 when Bella was spayed. She was sent home with liquid Torbugesic and received an injection of Torbugesic/Butorphanol prior to being discharged. I do recall that I was asked prior to her spay IF I wanted these "extra's" for her post op comfort...um, YES! I just received a one year old male Yorkie to foster who is recovering from an amputation to his rear leg and a neuter. He was sent home with an antibiotic, Rimadyl & Torbutrol as well. Rimadyl is not my drug of choice for older dogs due to side effects with Liver & Seizure complications.

| Our vet prescribes Torb-Val for spay/neuter & dentals. I only had to give it to them once since they keep them overnight. Didn't like giving it to them, makes them pant & they act like zombies...staring into space, then falling asleep. Not sure which it falls under on the poll?

☺Farrah☺ Donating Member | Farrah got spayed last Tuesday and no pain meds were given to go home. She did great and I think it is a good idea since she is a very active girl. This way she feels it and doesn't run, jump and climb. Trust me I cuddled her most of 2 days following the surgery. She also weighs 3lbs ,12oz and just seems too small for drugs.

YT 1000 Club Member | Dante and Leo both were sent home with Metacam after neutering. They also had the laser surgery as opposed to the traditional.

| My yorkie, Addyson was given rimadyl to carry home with her if she needed something for in pain, after her spay surgery. I gave her a couple of dosages and everything was okay. But, since I have read all the risk that are associated with rimadyl, I will not use it again. |

| Mine were all given some sort of pain shot and then sent home with metacam. I only gave that night and next morning (1 drop per pound). None was needed after that. |
