Yes. Cats who have been spayed will go home with a three-day supply of pain medication called Onseer, which is FDA-approved for use in cats. For neuters, an injection of Onseer is given, and additional pain medication may be provided depending on the doctor's recommendation and the cat's age.

Yes, we definitely want to send home pain medication for your cat. The most common type of medication that we use to send home is an NSAID medication which is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory, similar to like Motrin for people but the cat version. The neuter surgery is not nearly as uncomfortable although there is definitely some discomfort involved, so we want to send home the pain medication. The spay procedure, though, is an incision that goes directly into the abdomen and does require quite a bit more manipulation so there is significant discomfort there. Thankfully, we have good pain medications that we can use to control this.

Absolutely! We want to ensure that our cats are comfortable after their procedures. Regardless of the procedure's duration, it is important that they remain content and pain-free. It has been observed that if you can control the pain at the time of surgery and within the next 24 to 48 hours, the chance of experiencing pain later significantly decreases.
