How long do the vets keep the pets(cat or dog or kitten or pup) after they spayed or neutered the animal? Two days? Do they give them pain meds? Just curious is all.

Bring them in the morning, ready by about 4. They send home meds.
If its routine and nothing happens then they usually release them to you later that day. And yes they give them pain meds but you have to pay extra for it.
i forget damn. i think it was simply overnight but i do remember they give them an extra shot to go home on and my heart broke…my kitty was drugged and couldn’t move…no muscles working. he cried and i did too. the next day was way better.
phoenix came home the same day, with no pain meds. she did not need them.
Around here…neuters are done in the am and send home in the pm
Spays go home the next day.
Cat declaws stay 2 days.
where i use to work, this was the schedule:
cat neuters: no overnight stay
cat spays: 1 night
dog neuters: 1 or 2 nights depending on size and age of dog
dog spays: 1 or 2 nights depending
all animals received pain medication and went home with pain meds. buprenex for cats and tramadol for dogs.
I just had my dogs fixed the female they kept 2 days. 1 male surgery was in the morning and he came home in the afternoon. The other male they kept overnight, of course this could all change due to unforseen issues.
My dog stayed overnight, they called me after his surgery and told me how things were going. I picked him up the next morning and they sent me home with meds and told me to keep him from jumping for a while. I felt better him staying overnight, that way the anesthia wore off and he was his normal self.
1- 2 days and they need lots of rest
