I've had surgeries too, and although I've had the pain meds, most of the time I don't even take them myself.
To the OP, I have always been 100% on having dogs spayed/neutered. There is also pyometra they can get(not sure if I spelled that right) that can end up killing them if they're not spayed. The only reason I wouldn't spay is if I was going to breed. I have a little one right now, I have always had my dogs spayed by 6 mos at the latest, but, this one is 9 mos today and still not spayed, but, it's only because of her size. I was hoping she would get to 3 lbs. but, that doesn't look like that's going to happen, so, have decided to wait until she's a year old, then take her in and pray for the best |
My previous vet wanted me to bring Maddie in the day prior to surgery. Also, I may not mind her staying overnight if someone was there with the animals. Instead, they are left alone...
I just don't feel comfortable with that.
I prefer to have meds for her in case. I have had pets spayed without them before. Some do okay, some did not. I have a hard time seeing any critter of mine suffering with pain
