There have been a couple of occasions where they gave one of mine the pain injection, but I think it was included in the "total package"....
My vet used that for years but they don't any more. I was told that they cannot guarantee the amount of the drug that is in that mixture...something I assume they have found out recently. GCVS has never done it and always sent it home unmixed .. that is what my vet now does as well.
