Hm, didn't know ear cropping was done under anesthesia. Good to know... Why don't they do that with tail docking and dew claw removal then?!
My vet automatically gives pain meds after any surgery. I believe my cat got two weeks worth after neutering/declaw. The dogs got a weeks worth after their spay/neuter.
It's relatively cheap (I think it was maybe $8 or so), so I don't see why they wouldn't at least offer it... And if a pet owner doesn't want to spend that little amount to keep their pet as comforable as possible, they don't deserve to have it! |
