Animals that have had surgery should never be left alone overnight.
If they try to make you, I would find another vet.
I would have a hard time trusting a vet with this policy.
I also would have a hard time trusting a vet that thinks they don't need pain meds after a spay.
While they are there alone who is watching to make sure that they are coming out of anesthesia okay, not reacting to pain meds, that their incision isn't coming open, that they haven't pulled their IV out, that they aren't screaming in pain, and if they don't have an IV that they aren't going hypoglycemic, that they are breathing okay... No way would I have left Ellie alone after her spay. Her vet is staffed 24 hours and I would've let her stay but she came home four hours after surgery because there was no reason for her to be there...
