My vets never give pain meds...you want the dog to feel some discomfort so they will rest and not run around...like that does much good anyway...
Pinkie was spayed two weeks ago...she came home ran around like she had nothing more done then a nail clipping...I had to pen her up for a few days to give the incision time to heal...

Humans think dog pain is as intense as human pain...it just is not...ever seen a woman have a c-section, come home an hour later, jump on the couch, round around and beg for dinner...LOL

That is why dogs can have abcessed teeth and not be screaming in pain...unfortunately they deal with it when the owner does not know...

Do not put a onzie on her...you want it clean and to air heal..rarely do female lick the wound...now males are another story.
