Hello everyone,
Yesterday, my 5 year old pembroke welsh corgi went for her teeth cleaning. The vet said that she needed it desperately and was one stage away from getting an extraction (which I think was utter BS because I look at her teeth and they were a wee bit yellow, but nothing that needed to be extracted).
Well, I agreed for her to do the teeth cleaning. My Pem has had it before and dealt with it fine, but this time, I got her back and she will not stop crying. She is usually very mellow, doesn't vocalize that much unless you talk to her and she makes little gremlin sounds back and forth, but this is like a stressed high pitched whine. She is constantly pacing and trying to climb out the windows. She's very reactive to noises at the moment as well. When I got her back and walked across the parking lot, there was a semi-truck parked and the air brakes hissed and she nearly jumped out of her skin. She's been around loud vehicles all her life and never reacted like that before.
Also, I haven't seen her take a piss yet. She's gone #2 a bunch of times, but still no pee.
She went under at about 12:00 pm yesterday, and it is now 1:30pm the next day. Is this normal? I've never dealt with this before...and now I have vowed never to put my dogs under for anything (except spay and neuter).
Is this some kind of allergic reaction? Or am I not waiting long enough for the anesthesia to wear off?
Thank you!
