Donating YT 500 Club Member | I don't understand why they would think its better to give him meds to sleep all night with no staff there instead of being at home where he WILL be watched all night. I've read other threads with this issue. But the vet works for me. If he feels Jasper needs to be in a hospital, then we will take him to one in Memphis. Otherwise, he is coming home today.

Donating YT 500 Club Member | Jasper is home!! As I mentioned in an earlier post, the vet said that Jasper did great. The vet had wanted him to stay the night because of his size. When I called at 3:00, Jasper was up and walking around. So...I didn't have to punch anybody out to get my baby! Or call Lynzy to do it for me!! They removed 7 teeth and said that most of his pain will come from that more than the neuter. And, yes I have his teeth. DH thinks I'm nuts. When we got home he peed forever it seemed like. It seems like any pet I've had will hold it until they get home. But anyway... after that he ate really well. I only gave him half of his usual portion because I want to make sure his tummy will be alright. I figure I will feed him again in an hour if he is awake. He is sleeping right now. They used a laser for his surgery and he has sutures that will need to be removed in about 10 days. No E cone either. He is to take Amoxicillan twice per day. Metacam once per day for pain. They said that he already had his dose for today. But, he had a lot done. What if he is in pain tonight? Does this sound right? Oh and all of his bloodwork was within the normal ranges on everything. I apologize for rambling. Just so happy and relieved to have my boy home. I cried with worry this morning. Now I could cry from relief.

| Yay, glad to hear Jasper is home and doing well. Such a relief. Funny about the teeth, I'm a saver too. A few months ago BF found a Rx bottle in the pantry and asked me what it was for. EEkk it was baby teeth I had forgotten. Now he really thinks I'm a crazy dog lady, haha.

| I laughed at the Lynzy comment. You can always use me as a back up. Watch him closely...if he licks his incision it will get infected. Some never bother their incisions and don't need an E-collar, but most do...so just be careful! So glad he is home with you and that all went well!

| As for meds, I personally don't think Metacam is enough. I just spoke with a friend whose pup was spayed and the vet put her on Rimadyl. I asked her to ask her vet if she would only take Motrin for a hysterectomy. Sheesh. My vet always prescribes Tramadol and Metacam....or Bupranex and Metacam after spays and neuters. Maybe the pups don't show pain but that does not mean there is no pain. I give pain meds for 3 - 4 days after these surgeries. I don't want to think a pup could be in pain.

| I'm glad Jasper made it through safe and sound! How often does the prescription say to administer his pain meds? |
