I'd give it after a spay if that's what the vet gave, but many wouldn't. So up to you... Some prefer Metacam and others, Tramadol (but Tramadol isn't an anti-inflammatory). then there is buprenorphine, Fentanyl if pup is big enough, etc. Could just let the vet decide...
Is Metacam anti inflamatory as well?
Sophie should be 9 lbs now, is she big enough for Fentadyl?
