It is not like we are talking morphine here; they only prescribe a small amount of low dose tramadol.

Unless Max is predisposed to blood clots, Aspirin should not be taken before or immediately after surgery. It is a blood thinner and dramatically increases the likelihood of internal bleeding post-op. We had one of furry buddies undergo a simple neutered (no undicended testicles) and he bleed so much internally a six-seven inch diameter circle on his belly was bright purple....and that was without aspirin use.
