A free puppy!?!?!?

[winedope1]

welcome anytime, Bucko. Although pain management is at the forefront of human and animal medicine now, there are some concerns over its use. If the procedure was relatively quick, they may not have felt justified. Puppies are extremely resilient. There can be concern over use in young animals, as in young children. Also,there may have been concern about depression or extended anesthetic recovery time. It's good to hear that she is already beginning to act like a typical pup. Yea for Tawny and Bucko! PS- check with your vet on use of aspirin if considering more than immediate post-op period and confirm dosage. Problems that occur are generally similar to those in people- ie.- GI upset so give it with food and stop if GI upset occurs.
