Hey everyone,
Miko just got his neuter done this morning, it was an all round stressful event for me as we did not know how his heart would react to the anesthetics (he has a murmur, grade 2 or 3). Anyways, hopefully it's not too early to say, but it all went well. He's at home resting now. I did not get the greatest experience at the vet's, however, but that is a story for another time. I'm just happy Miko is healthy and got through the neuter without any complications! :)
Anyways, Miko was sent home with some pain medication (Metacam- oral dose - 3mL/day for 3 days). At first, I didn't think much of it, but after doing a little bit of research on Metacam, I am getting lots of mixed reviews as to whether it is safe to use on cats.
My question is this: Did your cat need pain meds after their spay or neuter? I'd rather not give him pain meds if he doesn't need it.
Also, what are some signs that would tell me he's in pain?
Thank you in advance!!
