I asked them if she needed to take it...they said it was up to me....I didn't like what I had read about the adverse reactions that could happen.... She had the laser surgery? If anyone has any information please contact me....I feel like I am depriving her from not giving her pain medication....but feel it is too risky to give her the Rimadyl. She doesn't appear to be in any pain.....
You would definetely know if she was in pain. She would whine a lot or move around a lot, or shake. If she's just snoozing and trying to heal I wouldn't give it to her. I also had pain meds, but I didn't give Coco more than like 2 and that was the first night, so she could sleep well. I don't like to stuff her with meds if she doesn't need it. Speedy recover Snookums (LOVE THAT NAME)
