Hello. Without knowing exactly what your veterinarian administered, it is impossible to say what secondary effects might occur. But most of the medications I am familiar with do not cause a dog to space out. Some might be a little sedating, so perhaps this is what you are seeing. If you could post back with a drug name, we might be able to be more accurate as to possible side effects. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
