Why is my spayed kitten biting after surgery? Can I give meds early?

Question

Hello, my kitten was spayed about 36 hours ago and seems to be recovering well. The vet perscribed Meloxicam 1.5 ml for today and tomarrow at 10am. I was wondering if it was okay with give it to her at 8am since I have to work? Also, my kitten is super loving, and I was petting her and touched her side/back and she nipped at me, which she has only done so playfully in the past. Is that normal? Pet's info: Cat | Siamese | Female | spayed | 5 months and 25 days old | 5.8 lbs

Hello, yes you can give the Meloxicam at 8 am, no problem. she is probably still shook up and in pain, her biting you is likely due to that but don't worry she will be back to her normal self soon enough (a few days).
