Hello there! It's great that you're looking out for your dog's well-being following sedation. After your dog has been sedated, it's normal for them to be a bit groggy or unsteady on their feet for several hours. You might notice they seem disoriented or sleepy, which is perfectly typical.
Make sure to provide a quiet and comfortable space where your dog can rest. Avoid stairs and significant activity until you’re confident they've regained their balance. Offer small amounts of water at first, and gradually reintroduce food later in the day or as your vet advised.
Monitor them closely for unusual behaviors like vomiting, prolonged lethargy, or difficulty waking-up fully, as these might indicate complications. Excessive shivering or shaking that lasts beyond the immediate recovery period could also be a concern. In such cases, it’s best to consult a vet.
Keep a close eye on their incision site—if applicable—for any signs of infection, such as redness, swelling, or discharge.
If you notice anything concerning or if your dog doesn't seem to improve over time, it’s a good idea to schedule a video consult with us at Dial A Vet to address any specific concerns you have. We're here to support you and your furry friend!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
