My dog vomited and is sleepy after dental surgery. Should I worry?

Question

My dog had a dental done today with 4 extractions (2 of them being surgical) as well as slight gum trimming due to gingivitis. I gave a Tramadol at 7 pm and some rice in water for dinner (small amounts separated an hour apart) and then he vomited a small amount. He is up and walking around but still can tell sleepy/out of it from the anesthesia. Should I be concerned?

I wouldn't be too concerned at this point if the dental was only just done today. Your dog underwent a pretty significant procedure and may not be the same for a couple of days. Give the pain medication as directed by your veterinarian unless your dog vomits again. If this is the case, call your vet about switching to something else. Post-anesthetic nausea is not uncommon so you might consider giving some pepsid or prilosec if you have any around the house. Hope this helps.
