I took Nova in for spaying this morning. As part of the procedure, they have a sort of monitoring. I don't remember what exactly they do, but one of the things is to give her fluids through an IV. I have not heard of this before and was surprised to see that it cost twice as much as the spay procedure itself. Is anyone familiar with this?
As an option, they asked me if I would like for her to receive pain medication after the surgery and for taking home. Previously, the vet gave me some "pet tinic" (which I understand to be a vitamin supplement), but I have heard that this is good for pain. I know that I would like some pain medicine for myself if I had had surgery! Does anyone have any experience with this? I've not heard of these things before, but they seem to make sense.
