It's fine although probably unnecessary.
Some vets have the philosophy that some pain is good to slow them down. That's really only something you and the vet can decide. However, I don't think a pup being in pain is beneficial. They hide pain well. It's major abdominal surgery with organ removal. It hurts whether they show it or not...
