Your vet should have given you some pain medication for Sadie. There is no over the counter pain medication suitable for dogs. You can help her with her food by either feeding canned food, or take her regular hard food and soak it in water so it gets wet and soft. If she still has pain tomorrow take her back to the vet for a recheck and pain medication.
