Can a Rimadyl Injection used once be harmful?

When Rocky was neutered a few days ago the vet did give a Rimadyl injection plus a Torbugesic injection. I was not aware of this until I picked him up and it was billed on the invoice.

If he was going to have a reaction to it then it would have happened by now. None of my dogs have ever had a reaction to Rimadyl and they've all had it at some stage.

I've never had a veterinarian administer pain meds after a neuter.

I've never had a veterinarian administer Rimadyl in the injection form. I will give rimadyl to an older dog, but don't really like using it on a younger dog for more than a day or two. It's pretty harsh stuff on the liver.

I agree. He only had the injection and nothing after. I was just getting somewhat worried because of this urine issue.
