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 called the vet back, and they will send Bella home with a second painkiller as well. I thought about visiting Bella at the hospital this afternoon, but thought better of it. I didn't want to excite her and then disappoint her when she couldn't come home with me. It's best that she rest peacefully.
