Very stressed over taking my 5 lb. fur baby in for a grade 4 luxating patella surgical repair tomorrow! He doesn't seem to be in pain now, but everyone is telling me to get this surgery performed. Can someone please tell me how much pain the dog is in after surgery? Are the pain meds they give adequate? How long to recover? Outcome of grade 4 surgical repairs? Thank you.
