Sedation Recovery Concerns

I have been in touch with the specialist already but I am just posting to see if anybody else has had experience with a dog taking a long time to recover from a sedation.

My BC was sedated on Tuesday for a relatively short period of time (no more then a few minutes) to have an injection into her shoulder. This was a follow up to a procedure she had 3 weeks ago. The first time she was wide awake and bouncing around within 10 min of arriving home. I had to put her in her crate to keep her resting.

With the follow up she was severely hung-over for a good 24 hours (sedation was 11am Tue and it wasn't until late afternoon yesterday that she perked up). She was picking over her food, wouldn't drink, wouldn't do anything other than sleep. I let her be and contacted the specialist who said they had given her slightly more sedative this time around and they only reversed half of what they could and they would note it on her file for next time in case they needed to knock her out again.

She was much perkier last night so I wasn't to concerned and thought she was back to normal. This morning she appeared her normal self but as the morning has progressed she has had a really upset tummy which has necessitated 2 baths in the last hour or so and is now sleeping in her crate feeling pretty miserable.

Should I be worried - is it likely to be related or is there something else going on.
