Hmmm, I wouldn't do it.
Abdominal surgery is very painful. I wouldn't let Ellie be in pain and her vet wouldn't either. Antibiotics are fine. If there is someone there watching 24/7, it is fine that they keep them but in most cases it really isn't necessary. Ellie was spayed at a 24 hour staffed facility on the same day as her liver biopsy and she came home 3-4 hours later.
