Well my dog (5 yrs, chihuahua) just got surgery today on removing a lump in her throat (it was just extra fat) and had to go through a anesthesia (sp? its where they put you to sleep during the surgery then they wake you up after).
Now she is very weak and can barely move. Which is very weird…
When she first came in the house she was miserably stuck in a position unable to move…then a couple hours later she moved a bit… and an hour after that she slowly walked all around the house sucessfully…but now she is weak again and can’t move. The vet said it is totally normal on the first day for her not wanting to walk, and chihuahuas are always more dramatic. But she sometimes screams or tries to chase her scar when she walks. Is this normal?
She isn’t drinking water, which I am afraid of… but the vet also said it is normal for the first day… but she only had about 1 mL of water in the past 4 hours. How can I get her to have more?
The vet said she wouldn’t eat much either. She does eat some bread, but we try to feed my dog her own dog food and she refuses to eat it. Is this normal?

How long will this last? She despretley wants to lay down and rest her head, but since the lump of fat was on her throat she cant lower it much… she can move her neck fine side to side even up, just not down.

Please help!
Just heard my dog scream again… my mom is taking care of her right now, but my mom has to leave really soon and so I have to take care of her and I dont know how to feed her her own food, and water.
oh and she already went through one dose of pain killer stuff that the vet gvave us today, so she cant have more.
we called the vet already… she said just let her be until tomarrow, if she isnt calmer and a little better by tomarrow then bring her back.
Yeah ok no one answer anymore, its all good, she is eating her own food now and stuff, she is just kinda wobbly, which is normal
