your dog should be on pain meds for at least a week. Some are sent home with Fentanyl patches as well which last for 5 days. After a week the pain should be minimal. Sometimes a little bit of pain is good. Your vet is right, it will slow them down. They would only hurt if they do too much so they quickly learn not to. Its not that they would be in constant pain.
