We had our dog fixed today and he is acting like he is so much pain. We have had all our animals fixed and I know they can all be different. Is there anything besides this rimadyl we can give him for the pain. The vet has not returned our calls yet and the yelping is getting very old.
Answers:
Take a peek at the stitches. are they intact? if your dog has torn his stitches he could be in trouble. Do not give anything else with the pain meds. You don't know what it will do if it mixes in his system. All I can say is if the stitches are OK, keep his face away from his wound and sit with him to comfort him. Some dogs are just easily intimidated by "scary" experiences. Call the vet in the morning.
I've never had a do that needed to be fixed before, so I'm afraid I don't have an answer before. Have you tried googling it? Not sure how much of a help that is, but yeah.
Good luck with the dog. Hope he's up and running again soon.
ouch.. ive only had a female cat and several female dogs fixed, but none acted as tho they were in pain.. maybe try calling another vet and getting their opinion.
Have you given it attention? It's sad. they just got their sex organs taken out. wouldn't you be crying?
Usually a neuter is not as painful as a spay, but that is not to say that it is painless. If you have already given your dog rimadyl then you will have to wait for the vet to see of there is anything else you can give him. You won't know what kind of drug interactions other meds may cause. In the meantime, try to keep your dog warm and comfortable (cuddling wouldn't hurt).
Is it a smaller dog? We have had many dogs fixed over the years and the smaller ones always seem to suffer more. Poor things. Your pup will be fine, he should be alot better tomorrow
It's possible he's just being a baby and trying to get more attention. If it's something you're concerned about and your vet's office is closed, call the office and listen to their message. They may provide a phone # for an emergency clinic. If not, check the phone book. They should be able to help you. DON'T give your dog anything that has not been presribed or recommended by a veterinarian.
He's humiliated. You took away his manhood and he his hollering loudly about it. Possibility that he is in some pain, but a lot of it could just be he feels humiliated.
some dogs react to the anesthia differently. the crying is from the anesthia. his body is still processing the chemicals and they will do alot of crying. if you have a large kennel put him in and put a towel over it to make it dark. if not try puttin him in the bathroom with towels or a rug or his dog bed in there for him to lye on and turn off the lights and close the door. this will make him feel more comfortable and quiet him down alot. if you have given the rimadyl already give nothing more, unless your vet says to give something else. dog neuters aren't as painful and spays, but some dogs dont' process the pain as well as others and the anesthisia. hope this helps and good luck.
