My baby had an eye surgery ( to remove ingrown hair from the upper lid) a 3.5 days ago. Induction was done with propofol , endothracheal intubation and maintenance with isoflurane. The surgery went ok.
His eye looks completely ok now, he doesn't apper to be in pain anymore, but he seems very tired, and just lays down most of the time.
He eats and drinks ok.
I called the vet on the third day , and they said "the little dogs just need more time to rest after the surgery", and to call back on Monday if this continues.
Per their instructions we are not taking him outside, just 5-10 min in the backyard to potty (We usually go for a walk daily) , and he is wearing e cone, so I think he is also depressed, and sad. . What do you think?
Do the little ones really need more then 3 days to recover from the anesthesia? |
