Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Being down can sometimes last several hours even a few days. However, the vomiting after drinking water is very concerning. I highly recommend that you have him evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment. This is likely from the anesthesia but it would be a good idea to at least support him with anti-nausea medications to make him feel better. Best of luck!
