When Reese was sent home from being spayed they gave her the same medication. I think I was giving her about the same amount that your vet suggested. She was spayed on a Friday and Saturday AM after the vet was closed, she was crying a lot. It was pretty scary, I called Tuffs Vet Hospital, which is also a Vet School, very well known, and they said that all Rimadyl is, is like Ibuprofen for dogs. They could not belive that was the only pain killer our vet had given her since it was such a major surgery. They had me increase the amount and she seemed to be a little better. But it was a good 2 or 3 days before she was back to normal. If your ababy is up and running around, I would not be worried, I only gave it to her b/c she was obviously in so much pain. Oh and btw, I have never hear of laser spaying??? I wish she had gotten that, she had a huge suture in her, it look very painful and she kept trying to lick it.
Good Luck!
Chiara
