I just realized Joey was on Torbutrol after castration surgery. He weighed about 4 pounds at the time, his dosage was ½ of a 1mg tablet, but you need to remember, your dog is in a lot more pain. Torbutrol did not work well with Joey. The first dosage, I didn't notice too much difference, but by the third dosage, I noticed Joey got increasing agitated/ energetic, after giving it to him. Some medications do the reverse on some patients, instead of making him sleepy, it hyped him up. So the vet told me not to give it to him anymore. He was fine after that, but like I said before, your baby's surgery is much more painful. Good Luck!
