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?

    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!

    Hey everyone
    My dog just had 14 teeth removed at the age of 15 years old.
    He's recovered and I have some tips for you:
    Get a piece of chicken and boil it in a 20oz pot of water. Refrigerate your broth for when they get home. When you feed your dog as per the recommendation here (about 1/4 of the normal serving) serve with the broth. It should not have any sodium and should be safe to feed. This will help hydrate the stomach. Yes, they received IV fluids but sometimes the stomach itself needs fluid in it to expand the organ and allow for normal function.

    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?

    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 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 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!

    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 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
      @DrLera  3 роки тому +2

      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
