Why is my dog quiet and sleepy after a leg biopsy? Is it normal?

My dog had a biopsy today on his leg for a growth. Tonight he seems quiet. Is that normal? Pet's info: Dog | Black Mouth Cur | Male | neutered | 60 lbs

If Stanley was sedated today or if he is on an opioid type pain medication, then yes, he could be sleepy because of that. If he did not receive any type of medication today, it's hard to say why he's tired. Watch him closely for any signs of illness or prolonged lethargy (like if he is still quiet tomorrow). Have him examined if needed. I hope this helps.
