Puppy pain med

I was given a prescription to get Lucy some pain meds after her surgery (like doggy aspirin) but... I'm not sure I should get it.  She's not given any indication that she's in pain (though I could tell yesterday she wasn't comfortable) she's walking, and chewing.

So... should I get it for her?  I'm kind of torn.

Re: Puppy pain med

  • I would.  If it could make her even 1% more comfortable, and there aren't any nasty side effects, why wouldn't you?

  • I put Barney on pain meds whenever they are given...it actually helps with the healing process and makes sure that he is comfortable.  I totally would do it even if it appears that Lucy is okay, as dogs don't show pain all the time the same way we'd expect them to.

  • Yes.  I'd give them to her for sure.
  • I gave Maddy got a shot the day after her op and a pill the next day so I'd say yes.

  • I'd give it to her.  It will make her more comfortable.  It's not like she's an addict who you're giving it to--what's the harm?

  • Hey--

     

    The only reason I was considering not is because I can't tell if it's making her feel funny or making her tummy upset.  I'm worrying about stuff unnecessarily. She's all set. :)

  • Meh, I'd go with your instincts... if she's alert, eating, drinking, moving normally, I'd skip it (ps I'd say the same thing re: myself).

    What's wrong with lu-lu?  Hope it's nothing too serious!  Lucy (our) sends her well-wishes!
