I'm now trying to figure out how we are going to sleep since we can't leave either of them by themselves cause Sumo-Toby will not stand for separation without a loud fight. I am going to the store to get a heating pad, a cooling pad, some rice and meat for Izzy. Poor thing lost her bowels and I had to steam clean everything. She hasn't thrown up or anything. She's just shaking really bad. I'm all stressed out over her pain levels ...  |
As I had suggested before, ask for pain meds. You do not have to leave a vet hospital without pain meds after surgery! Just insist! I would not leave without pain meds; and if a vet suggested my pup didn't need it, I would suggest he go have similar surgery and do without.
Do not be intimidated....do not do just as the vet suggested...speak up for your pup!
Additionally, it is probably good to get this cleared up prior. Ask if pain meds will be given...if not, walk away and find another vet to do the procedure!
This post is for anyone who would just go along with what a vet told them. We don't have to accept this kind of stuff!
