Hello and thank you for using pet coach to address your concern. Sometimes after anesthesia dogs can develop a bit of GI upset. Sometimes the pain medications or antibiotics can also cause these symptoms. If she is on any pain medications, I would discontinue them for a few days and see if the symptoms resolve. If she is not currently taking any medications and is sick and lethargic with no improvement, I would urge you to get her scene by your veterinarian to determine why she is getting sick. I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me with any other questions or concerns that you may have. I am also available via phone or text consultation if needed.
