What to Expect After General Anesthesia

[@nicoleskey]

You are literally more helpful and informative than the 4k emergency vet I just visited! Thank you.

[@DrLera]

Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!

[@josemartinezz9152]

Agreed ive had to got to a vet emergency room twice at they arent very friendly or explain and i asked questions and they just gave me the most bold answer and made no sense to me

[@careermodeplayercreationsc4934]

Absolutely agree I wish our vet was as clear and endearing as you are

[@tarottman3926]

Thank you so much my vet didn't mention any of this. My dog is whining or crying and I searched it up this is also expected for the first 12 to 24 hrs from what I've seen.

[@sharoncarr984]

My dog was coughing after anesthesia yesterday and you explained it was normal. Thanks

[@jess.in.astoria]

Thank you for this video! My 11 year old hava apso had two teeth removed yesterday and it's good to have this as additional reassurance

[@DrLera]

Glad it was helpful, we wish your dog a speedy recovery!

[@HDSwiftty]

How did your dog do or hows he doing

[@DeadlyThrill]

This video gave me so much reassurance, moreso than the vet I took her to

[@annacusdin5589]

Thank you so much. My pug is home after her dental procedure and she’s totally out of it. Can’t settle. Disorientated. Awful. Don’t know if it’s normal.

[@karinasalas1348]

thank you for giving me comfort with all this information

[@harrydavepagaoa4709]

You are heaven's gift!! Thank you for this video!

[@neoaimee]

Thank you for the information, my chihuahua is going in for a tooth being pulled on the 18th.

[@DrLera]

Glad I could help!

[@ItsMsSue2U7154]

My bulldog just had BAOS surgery and has been throwing up everything - soft food and water for over 24 hours and gurgling a lot. We are watching for aspiration and she’s on antibiotics. I hope to God she is better by tomorrow. Breaking my heart.

[@HDSwiftty]

How is your bulldog doing?????

I watched this entire video and I don't even have a pet. Very informative.

Hi There. My dog went in for a biopsy. She also had an ear smear but when she got home, she was obviously groggy the first day, but did come right the next. My concern is that she cannot hear now. I am so stressed out because she heard normally before going in to the vet. Please advise if this is normal?

[@tanaxart]

Thank you for this information. My chihuahua just came home from having tooth extractions. There were things I didn't think to ask the vet until I noticed when we got home. I do wish to ask a question- My dog is acting distrustful and aggressive towards my husband and I, who have raised her since she was born. Is this behavior a normal side effect of the anesthesia? Thank you again for the information!

[@lea_924]

I’m sorry to hear about your pup’s fear and aggression after their procedure. How is your dog doing now?

[@tanaxart]

@lea_924 Thank you for responding. I really appreciate all your videos! Her behavioral changes have improved since, but she still becomes aggressive at night when lying in bed with me. If i try to move the blankets or get close to her backside, she bites or runs in fear. Otherwise, she's still the same happy go lucky cuddle bug. (She's 13 btw and the vet said her eyesight is getting bad)

[@darrenfergusonukmets3547]

@@tanaxartI am currently having this issue with my chihuahua she’s 4 tho and all of a sudden snapping more so at night at my partner. Not so much me. It’s upsetting my partner as she’s never really behaved this way. She is due in for dental work next Friday just before Xmas. And the vets already said he will have to pull some teeth with cleaning them.

[@tanaxart]

@darrenfergusonukmets3547 Hi Darren, i would like to share some advice: my girl is 13 years old, and speaking from experience, I would bring those behavioral changes up to your vet before the appointment. Sudden behavioral changes, especially in a pup at 4 years, shouldn't be overlooked. However, simple things like changes in their environment can cause this, too. (Ie. Moving to a new house, losing or gaining housemates or pets, etc.) Do keep in mind im speaking from years of experience owning small dogs and that I am not vet. My girl is the first to have a major dental surgery so i am learning more about my furry pal here. I pray your pup gets better and has a successful tooth removal. Happy holidays!

[@livia-mariaciurica1283]

Hi and thank you for the information! My dog went through a surgery today and she is shaking pretty bad and also she is breathing heavy. Is this normal after general anesthesia?

[@lovelikejesus8229]

I'm going through the same thing right now 😩

[@margacarey5267]

I am going through the same thing . My old dog just came out from surgery few hours ago and he is shaking and breathing heavily. Hopefully he will be okey😢

[@HDSwiftty]

Hows your guys dog doing how long did it take for them to get good????

[@Eggnog-xf5hs]

2 years ago I took my dog for dental work. She was having difficulty breathing especially through her nose. She was a little overweight. It took some hours before it went away but I got so worried do I said I would never take her back. Recently she has had some growths on her body likr nodules. She will get them removed tomorrow along with dental work. Shes about 13 years old and has lost some weight since that time but still is not at her ideal weight. What would cause the breathing issues? Can it get worst this time? Can she die?

[@nallelygranados7823]

It’s my dog’s 5th day after his surgery. He is very anxious and wants to leak his wound really bad. His vet says it’s normal, but I wish I could do something to help him. Any suggestions?

[@robertor6564]

My Staffordshire Terrier just had a mass tumor removal. She got home about 2 hours and I hear her slightly whining. Is that normal?

[@thatamychic3517]

Is it at all possible for a dog to develop tracheal collapse after receiving anesthesia? Also, is it possible for the tracheal tube to be left inside of the dogs trachea? I know it’s a odd question, but my 16 year old dog has been coughing ever since she had her teeth cleaned 8months ago, and at one point I thought I even felt something poking out a bit in her neck area. She’s been seen by her vet since and they said she has trachea collapsed but it’s odd to me that they could diagnose it without an X-ray that I can’t afford to do since I am not able to work at the moment. And if she wasn’t coughing at all until after her procedure, they should’ve been the ones to pay for her X-ray in my opinion.

My 9.5years old dog was spayed three days ago. She was now suddenly run away for a few foot steps and we found her hold body was shaking. Vet has prescribed Gabapentin. Is it normal for a old dog after spay? When will this condition end?

[@little_bird]

My vet said our dog woke up "swimming" and very disoriented. He was rolling on his back trying to "swim". She laughed and said it's common, but they can harm themselves, so they have to be restrained. Is this common? I can't find a single thing on the internet!

My 3 month old puppy died.... Not eating after anesthesia...blood diahorea slight vomit.... Finally dead... I didn't know what to give to dogs after anesthetic treatment.... The vet sedated my dog to treat leg fracture... But she would have survived hopping... But now she's dead 😑

[@cristinacontreras4637]

My dog got a deep ear cleaning and they ended up sedating him. It's been 5 days now and I notice him a little weird, like confused at home, he sees me as a stranger and he looks scared and lost. Is it normal to act that way? And how long does it take for them to get out of that funk? I told the vet already but they dont even know why he is acting that way.

[@DrLera]

I wouldn't anticipate that any sort of sedation would last more than 5 days and that's really pushing it. I would recommend that you take him to your veterinarian to have him evaluated to see if maybe there's an issue with the eardrum or something else. The only other thing that I can imagine depending on house if you're the symptoms are is if your cat had some sort of mini stroke or something like that again I have very little information here so the best recommendation would be to go back to the veterinarian and have them evaluate otherwise get a second opinion from someone else in person

[@paolalizethcamac6122]

hi my dog is having the same symptoms, what did your vet end up telling you and when did it get resolved?

[@cristinacontreras4637]

@@paolalizethcamac6122 it took a month for him to get back to his normal self. I took him to the vet to two different vets to get a second opinion and they never figured out why he was acting like that. The only thing I did was spent enough time with him. Walked around the areas he liked walking and little by little he started to be himself again.

[@minimalistact7246]

I also have a Maltese, and her leg bruised really bad, I’m not sure if that’s normal.

SO i had my 10.5 year Bug get her teeth cleaned on 12-3-22. they had to yank 5 and they removed a tumor on her leg. She can't stand or walk , and she is basically just laying on her bed since I brought her home 32 hours ago, Is this normal? I've been feeding her food with my fingers and water as well as she won't/can't get up to go get it herself. Is this shock or trauma and something she may snap out of?

[@yatablah393]

Did your dog recover ok?

[@alicedagoon4798]

@@yatablah393 The vet called me back 2 days later and asked what kind of painmeds she was on....I said, you didn't give her any!!! Next day I went in to get some, gave them too her and she was fine a few hours later. Pretty crazy but my poor dog was in so much pain

Hows did your dog do? Is he ok??

[@stephengastaldo4614]

My dog has a slight gag for a couple days now a week after his dental. What could that be? He's never done that before.

[@DrLera]

Would think it would be from the endotracheal tube causing some irritation

[@stephengastaldo4614]

@@DrLera its actually not a gag its more of short fast breathes he keeps randomly having 2 to 3 times a day lasting for a couple of mins or so..since it's been a week since his procedure what do you think this can be?

Record a video and show it to your vet if it cont so they can actually whats going on

Our chow chow mix is almost 24 hours out from surgery, and will whine, which is not her norm. Not eating either. Assume her tummy hurts? She had gen anth. for a tooth removal, but they decided not to remove anything, all looked well, so she got a cleaning and check over. She had a bm last night and is peeing fine and drinking water.

My Chihuahua had dental surgery almost two days ago and he is still a bit cold. I try to keep him warm as best I can, but how long can I expect him to have trouble regulating his temperature?

We just gave anesthesia for grroming but is not able to walk and always hiding in some other place why this happens

[@nancytersigni1]

What about labored breathing through their nose after anesthesia ... is that common?

[@DrLera]

The increased breathing could be tied to drugs or it could be tied to paints well

Yes. The endotracheal tube can cause some irritation of the throat. The sedation can also cause nausea.
