I'm sorry but I don't agree with you on this. First of all vet's are Practicing medicine. They know a great deal but, you should always second guess everything that is done to your little one.

This is jmo but I think he was over medicated if he was given 5 days of pain meds for teeth being removed and a neuter. The vet gives the dog a shot of antibiotic and pain meds after the surgery and some vet's like to continue with and antibiotic but 5 days worth of pain meds seems a little bit much.

Your paying the bill, it's your dog, second guess your vet. Your entitled.

Again, JMO.

Stay well.
