Dear Folks,
It's been awhile since I visited; some of you may recall a story about Atia, the Lithuanian Yorkie . . . anyway Hi again and back again with a question.
I will never know why but I got on the wrong side of the women at the reception desk of my vet. Never had a bad experience in 24 years, but all hell certainly broke out today.
Although the grisly details might be interesting (good gossipy things)

, Atia comes first. Do you folks know if it is common to prescribe Metacam for 5 days after spaying? Due to my little girl-to-girl problem, I didn't receive any info on why she has to take it for 5 days, whether with food or not, etc.
Spouse will probably be wringing the vet's neck by the time you read this. I just had to get my little Attie home without stressing her out (she knows all my emotions just like every Yorkie can!)
Your expertise is always appreciated --
