I had to look this up from 2006 when Bella was spayed. She was sent home with liquid Torbugesic and received an injection of Torbugesic/Butorphanol prior to being discharged. I do recall that I was asked prior to her spay IF I wanted these "extra's" for her post op comfort...um, YES!

I just received a one year old male Yorkie to foster who is recovering from an amputation to his rear leg and a neuter. He was sent home with an antibiotic, Rimadyl & Torbutrol as well.

Rimadyl is not my drug of choice for older dogs due to side effects with Liver & Seizure complications.
