Is it normal for my old dog to sleep a lot after tumor removal?

Question

My dog just had a very large fatty tumor removed 2 weeks ago. And all she seems to want to do is sleep. Is this normal? She did sleep a lot before but now it seems like a lot more. She is 12 years old. I just started taking her for walks again and she gets home and just wants to sleep. Should I be concerned?

I think this behaviour is just secondary to her age because by now the anaesthetic hasbeen already completely methabolised by her body. I would not worry, unless you notice any other abnormal symptom.
