My Great Pyrenees was neutered yesterday. He got gave Carprofen for pain & Trazadone if needed. I can’t find the Carprofen. I had them both in my pocket. I’ve scoured the house, yard & car. Will he be ok w/o pain meds? My vet is closed on Wed so I can’t call until tomorrow. I gave him Trazadone to at least help him sleep. I have to somehow clean his bottom too because he pooped on himself before the anesthesia wore off. It’s in all his hair & he obvi doesn’t like being messed with back there

Some dogs do fine without pain meds but others really need it. If your vet did prescribe the pain medication, then they want Apollo to take it for a reason. I would be sure to phone your vet first thing tomorrow to ask for a refill. Pain is a common occurance after any surgical procedure. You can use a little mild soap and water or baby wipe to help gently clean off his fur.
