I could not tell if he was suffering, or had a bad cross reaction from the pain meds they prescribed him with the anesthesia. That is what was determined by the ER vet, but I had a very sleepless, and worrisome, night.

Since, that whole experience left a negative impression, we took him to have two non anesthesic teeth cleanings. Thus far, we have been lucky, and have had no issues. I am very disheartened to hear about all of these awful experiences. It is something to consider in the future, but I must say, our experience with the normal cleaning, under general, was not positive either.

There are many different anesthetics one may not have been the right one for your pup or there protocol could have been off. What did your regular vet say when you told him what happened? Did they do pre surgery blood work?
