His mouth with be a bit sore. Not a huge deal though.
After anesthesia and pain meds which both can cause reactions, and with a new incision, and possibly an IV line, it is not safe for him to be there overnight. It's done around here too, but I can't imagine it being forced. There is always the chance to take to an ER for overnight supervision. Well, all spays and neuters are sent home same day here anyway. If there are complications, the dog would go to the ER. It is just not a good idea to leave them alone. If there is a reaction to a med or something, he will be alone. |
Aww see that scares me, they said I should receive a call between 12 and 2 the next day which seems awfully late to me! I'm not a very forceful person but I just might have to put my foot down on this one and plead with them to allow me to take him home that evening. Thanks for the information
