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  |
I agree.
Keeping a dog overnight after surgery unsupervised is asking for disaster.
There are many 24 hour vets that an owner can use if they aren't comfortable bringing home their pup that night. I think it's a very unsafe practice.
If a vet did not give me pain medications fror my dog after cutting her abdomen open, I would NOT go to that vet. It is not fair to the dog. They cannot tell you when they are in pain.
