Gizmo got neutered yesterday... - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Chrissybear · 03-02-2011, 03:18 PM

Poor guy is soo uncomfortable right now! He had one testicle fully down and the other in the inguinal canal so he has two incisions in his belly. He also had 8 baby teeth removed. He also had extra dew claws on his back legs so they were removed and he was microchipped also.. Poor guy had so much done yesterday but he's eating well and drinking well.

Question- The vet gave me rimadyl for his pain and inflammation. However, she said to only give it to him once a day... I asked if the medication is time relased and she said no... so how does it stay in his system for 24 hours? I want to keep overlapping his meds so he isnt in pain... The vet broke his pills into 1/4 sections of the 25mg pills. I feel like maybe i should break them one more time so he can have 1 pill in the Am and 1 pill in the PM... Anyone else given Rimadyl for their pets?

Hope Gizmo is feeling better. Poor baby went thru alot!! Give him a big hug from us. I don't know about the medication. Maybe if you call the vet they can advise you.

I hope he is feeling better. He will be back to normal in a few days. I would call the Vet on the Medication. We got the same thing for Maxine's surgery. One Tablet cut in 1/2, and supposed to give it to her each morning for 2 days. She did not need it. They take pain better than we do.

I just talked to the vet and i can cut the already tiny pill into two! So he can half at night and half in the morning!

thank you for all the kind words

We gave Wall-e meds twice a day, but it was liquid form. Glad he's doing well!

I hope your little guy feels better soon.

How can you tell when all baby teeth are gone?

Poor Gizmo!! So hard to see them so sad and in pain!!! I hope he is back to 100% super soon!! I have a question if you don't mind--were the 8 teeth removed already replaced with adult teeth? Meaning did he have extra teeth removed that had not fallen out yet or just his baby teeth removed and his adult teeth will come in later??

Appreciate it!!
Get well hugs and kisses!!!!!
