Drop by your veterinarian. If he has seen your dog already he may give you pain medicine preoperatively as well as antibiotics. If he has not seen your dog yet, you will need to try and have him seen before Friday due to the pain. Unfortunately there are no OTC pain killers for dogs or cats available. Please do not give medicine for humans as most of those are toxic to pets.
