She shouldn't be in pain cause the sedated her earlier. They did give me some pain meds to give her at bedtime every day. I also asked about something to calm her if she needs it in case she starts wanting to jump around. She told me to try Benedryl first and then if that doesn't work to let her know. Of course this is only on a NEED TO BASIS.
Should she even BE Walking ?? I would keep her off that leg and try to do everything the doctor said...and if she's in pain - make sure you check to see if you can give her more pain medication if needed - - just one at bedtime doesn't sound like enough to me....GOOD Luck and I hope she heals up
