How much pain can a dog be after getting neutered? LAser surgery?

I had my dog neutered yesterday via laser surgery. I however opted out of pain meds. He seems fine, but how do I know he is really ok? Should I get him the pain meds anyways?

1. You need to discuss this with your vet, not strangers on YA's.
2. i would leave him for the next few days see how he gets on. but for a dog being neutered is a bit of a shock so they could be in a slight bit of pain. but if you think hes unhappy do what you like. x
3. my boyfriend had the same done to his dog, vet told him not to pamper the dog or it will want more pitty and he won't pick up, if he is a house dog he wont mend as quick as a work dog, but if your worried you should get the pain med, but don't pamper him and he will mend quicker..... hope it helps...
4. Neutering isn't a big deal for males. He doesn't need pain meds and will be just fine without them.
5. I expect he IS fine. I have both a male and a female dog. The boy was bouncing around very quickly whilst the girl was under the weather for a couple of days.
6. I wouldn't get him pain meds. He will be fine.
7. Truth is, you really don't know if he is in pain or not. You can only rely on his expressions and attitude. I have neutered 2 male dogs, several years apart, and 1 I got pain meds for and 1 I didn't. Honestly, they both acted the same after a day or so. I wouldn't worry about it.
8. Most healthy animals are active the same day as the surgery. You said he is fine and answered your own question.
