nouggatti Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Megan went back to the vet today to have her stitches out (all 29 of them) As she is absolutely terrified of the vets (dunno why as she's been there once prior to this) last week when her drain came out we barely managed to get the drain out before she lost the plot, I asked the vets to give me a syringe of sedative to give her at home so I could bring her in sedated, rather than bringing her in, trying to get the stitches out, her going gaga then having to be sedated. That was about 5, she started coming out of the sedation about 530, but she's still fairly groggy even now. Far far more groggy than a dog e.g. who has had anaesthesia, or sedation (our lab foster was sedated for her stitches and she is fine) she's extremely spaced out, still not fully mobile, and her eyes are still a bit drugged looking. I know I can ring the vets, and if I feel the need to I will, at the moment I am not massively worried, more wondering if anyone has had a similiar experience? Meg is a whippet x, weighs about 13kg Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
border collie Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 Was it ACP? my horse had to be sedated for a week on full box rest cos he was smashing himself up. It took a good twenty four hours before he was totally clear of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nouggatti Posted February 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 No it wasn't ACP it was the injection that they use, Dorb or something they call it for short. She's getting a bit more alert this past half hour, probably just taking ages to get really back to normal. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacobean Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 It can affect them in different ways. Takes some longer to come to properly than others. As long as you can see she is getting there bit by bit I wouldn't worry. If not contact your vet to be on the safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted February 22, 2007 Report Share Posted February 22, 2007 both my sighthounds are far more dozy after even mild sedation that my collie x mind you it has to be said that they are pretty dozy without sedation Megan may also be feeling a bit under the weather from the procedure , mine are normally back on there feet the next day so hopefully in the morning Megan will be feeling back to to normal Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muriel Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 Glad she's ok now, Bach Crab Apple Flower Essence helps release toxins from the system, as does milk thistle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
