Hi All, My dog Sophie (11 year old pit bull/chow mix) is going to have a
fairly large cyst removed from her side tomorrow, and I'm wondering if there
is anything I should ask the vet about after care. The vet has been watching
the cyst for several months and decided to remove it now. Sophie does have
regular vet visits, but she has been a very healthy dog, so I don't really
have a lot of experience with various pain meds, antibiotics, etc. She did
pull a muscle several years ago and was given Rimadyl, but I don't think it
helped that much.

Does anyone have recommendations or things I should ask the vet? The cyst
removal will be in a spot that she can't reach with her mouth if that
matters with pain management. TIA
