A client's cat had surgery and she brought it in again yesterday because the cat still seems to be in sever pain 3 days after surgery. The cat has been prescribed an opioid but it appears to not be helping. Any ideas for other effective pain management?

What kind of surgery was it? Meloxicam is a good pain killer that's used for spaying or neutering

Physical therapy and massage were both very helpful in reducing the pain. Cold and heat therapy could also be used to help manage the pain. Poor cat! :(

If you’ve ruled out issues like abscess, dehisc, etc then maybe multimodal pain control? We usually do nocita intra op and then combo of opioids and nsaids tgh. Onsior? Metacam?

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise. Given the minimum wage, I make about $5 over but that hasn’t really changed to match inflation of living, etc and truly feel like I should be making a decent amount more given my skills. Any helpful advice?
