Desexing, Do Vets Ever Give Pain Killers After?

[SarasMum]

I spoke too soon. It seems to be a bit weepy this avo. I am not sure if she has popped a stitch or not. Stoopid dog. I will call the vet in the morning.

Some pain killers do have a vomiting/diahorrea reaction.

Do a google on Metacam and you can see the possible side effects, one includes vomiting

I had a bitch here who was given a metacam injection, one set of vets said no, it could not have been the injection that caused the vomiting, as it was more commonly known with longer term oral use.. got her settled down.. and then started about 7 days later on oral..

Sure enough, after about 24 hours, vomiting/diahorrea started again.. so me thinks it is metacam.. Especially when you read the write ups on it

At the clinic where I work, all castrates and speys are given both pain relief and antibiotic injections at the time of surgery, and in addition to this they are sent home with a three day supply of Rimadyl. The Rimadyl is not an 'optional extra', it is built in to the cost of the surgery.
