Hard to know though since they hide pain well. I automatically give it for the first 3 days.
I have to wonder if the vets who prescribe Metacam would take Motrin if they had knee surgery.  |
I'll ask about the Tramadol as well. My biggest concern is that Bella will want to be too rambunctious after she gets home. I will have to crate her much more than I normally would, and it pains me to have to do that, but it's for her own good. If I didn't do that, she'd be jumping up and down off the furniture, running up and down the stairs, and chasing the cat. She just can't help herself
