When we had Rocki and Sidney spayed they gave them a pain injection before they sent her home and then sent home some Remadyl for them for a few days.No pain meds. But i am hoping it will keep her from being too active. I was thinking about that, then forgot to ask the vet because i was so excited to take her home. I agree, they should have something for pain. Probably think people will use it instead of giving it to the dog.
