is baby asprin a safer option? maybe i just wont give any pain medication. it seems that if i message his neck it relaxes the muscle and helps with the pain.
I wish I could recall what Ambrey (pittie rescue ) took after her spay.

Aspirin is also an NSAID, unfortunately. What about giving a smaller dose of the Rimadyl - is it a tablet - would that make you feel more comfortable?

For the neck, you could also wet a cloth, put in microwave, heat it up, and put around his neck and hold him - heat can be very good for neck pain.
