Dog neutered, lost pain meds. Is he okay? How to clean his bottom?

Question

My Great Pyrenees was neutered yesterday. He got gave Carprofen for pain & Trazadone if needed. I can’t find the Carprofen. I had them both in my pocket. I’ve scoured the house, yard & car. Will he be ok w/o pain meds? My vet is closed on Wed so I can’t call until tomorrow. I gave him Trazadone to at least help him sleep. I have to somehow clean his bottom too because he pooped on himself before the anesthesia wore off. It’s in all his hair & he obvi doesn’t like being messed with back there. Pet's info: Dog | Great Pyrenees | Male | neutered | 1 year and 9 months old | 126 lbs

Some dogs do fine without pain meds but others really need it. If your vet did prescribe the pain medication, then they want Apollo to take it for a reason. I would be sure to phone your vet first thing tomorrow to ask for a refill. Pain is a common occurance after any surgical procedure. You can use a little mild soap and water or baby wipe to help gently clean off his fur.
