Should I go ahead an put a onesie on her anyway...or wait to see if she's messing with the incision??

I have to agree that I would be insisting on pain medication. I would expect no less as a standard of veterinary care! My Daisy had a fractured tooth -- something that caused her no pain whatsoever but needed to be surgically removed -- and she was sent home with 4 days of pain medication. It hurts to have your body sliced open and sutures or staples placed and no one should be in pain with the good and safe medications available.
