My 1 year old GD is getting the big snip this monday!

Just wanted to cover all bases and ask:

Anything I should know, do, be aware or prepared for???

Thanks,

Have probiotics on hand if they give you an antibiotic. Hoping for a speedy recovery! Also I made sure my dog came home the same day because no one was there at night. It might be a question you ask your vet.

So oliver had his big boy surgery today.
Doc said it went well, and we're home now.

Couple of things I wanted to get advice on:

He gave us no pain meds - when I asked about it the doc said we probably won't need it and he should be fine by tomorrow.

Since he's been home there have been a few grunts & whimpers and him being restless moving from spot to spot.....he also did not want to walk - I'm wondering how to know if I should give him pain meds?

Also, they gave us antibiotics to give twice daily - I have probiotic pills at home - how do I space those out?

Thanks

About the probiotics. Be sure to space it out by a minimum of two hours and to give them at least two weeks after you are done with the antibiotics. I am glad the surgery went well! Here's hoping to a speedy recovery. I would say if he is still sore today you cannot at least ask the vet about pain Meds. I knows boys recover quicker.
