I have had several kitties spayed and neutered over the years, but this is the first time that I was ever offered pain meds to bring home. I took Bucky to a different Vet for the procedure because I am on vacation and couldn't get her in at my vet during my time off. She was given a prescription of liquid pain killer to take three times a day, and I was told this morning that she shouldn't have any until later in the afternoon. They said she could eat, so I fed her and she used the box just fine after.
Anyway, the thing is she has been running all over ever since she got home playing with her toys and acting as if nothing happened at all and the vet said not to let her do any rough play or jumping. That is what has me worried.
She had her first dose of the pain medicine at 3:30, took a fifteen minute nap at four, and is back to her usual self... harassing the fish, and playing with her toys. I'm glad she doesn't seem to be suffering, but am worried that she doesn't seem to be taking it easy. All of my other kitties always hid under the bed for a day or two after their surgeries and I now realize they must have been suffering badly.
Anyone have any ideas how I can get her to settle down a little?
