[QUOTE="donna723, post: 192475, member: 1883"] I'm so glad she's doing better! Most vets won't charge you for any kind of a follow-up after surgery, the same as they don't charge you for a recheck and to take their stitches out. The vet will usually give them a big dose of pain medications before you take them home. If they don't, you need to ask for it. Not everybody gets the extra pain medications after their dog has surgery because it costs more, but I couldn't stand the thought of them being in pain. When dogs are in a lot of pain they shiver and shake ... but some of the shivering after surgery comes from the anesthesia wearing off. I got them the extra pain medications but they really didn't need them because they slept through the worst of it that first day and were better the second day. I've gone to the same vet for over 20 years and my two Bostons actually were bred by the vet tech in his office. I bought the extra pain medications "just in case", then when they didn't need them, I brought them back unopened and got the money back. Going to the vet is like "old home week" for my girls!
