My dog had his teeth cleaned and is now nauseous. Is this normal?
My 13 yr old dog had his teeth cleaned (at least one extracted) yesterday. I dropped him off at 8 and picked him up at 5. He was his normal self when I picked him up, no drowsiness or anything. He peed, pooped, drank water and ate less than half a can of dog food when he got home. He did not seem to be in any pain so I did not give him any pain medicine. He ate the rest of the half a can later that night because he was hungry then went to bed.
Today in the morning however, before 6, he woke me up because he wanted to throw up. It passed and he went back to sleep.
I didn't get a chance to ask any questions when picking him up so I'm just wondering if nausea is common the day after the teeth cleaning? What are other common symptoms and what symptoms require a vet visit?
I have noticed in the past that when he does not eat enough the previous day, he will be nauseated until he eats something. Could that also be it?
Thanks.
