I agree. When Roxie was at the vet for the sago palm poisoning, I remember the vet not wanting to give her pain meds unless he had to. In her case it might have been for a different reason, but I think especially with a head injury it might be better maybe not to. He may be trying to keep her as conscious as possible. I also am very encouraged about her progress. Please try to take care of yourself, too.
