Id like your opinions....
Lachesis, I'm a little confused. Are you talking about pain meds for after the operation or during the operation. I would think it is normal procedure to put them under during. If not, I would definitely question somebody. If you're talking about afterwards, I don't know as they are necessary, and like K&L said, it might actually aggravate the situation. It was 1986 when Tubby was done. I remember he was groggy when I brought him home, but the next day he was up and at 'em just like normal, and hasn't stopped since.
