Make sure your dog is not around any slick surfaces or stairs if they are still a bit sedate or wobbly. Be cautious around pools to ensure they do not fall in. Overall, your dog should be in relatively good shape by the time they go home.

After an anesthetic procedure, your dog may be a little groggy or off. Their eyes might look more red, and they might not be completely back to normal. However, your dog will always be safe enough for home care when they are dismissed from the animal hospital.

From an anesthesia standpoint, dogs usually return to normal within 24 to 48 hours.

Depending on the type of anesthesia, it can wear off quickly, or it can take around 15 to 20 minutes for most of the anesthetic effects to wear off.

Maintaining a clean home environment can help with your dog's allergies. Frequent vacuuming and removing allergens from your home can significantly reduce the impact of allergies on your dog. Dust mites and other environmental factors can contribute to allergies, so keeping a clean home can help alleviate symptoms.

Holistic options for dog allergies focus on treating the whole patient and taking care of all body systems. Some holistic treatments include bathing to remove allergens, using therapeutic shampoos, omega-3 fatty acids, and avoidance of allergens. These methods can provide more natural ways to treat dog allergies.

Antihistamines like Benadryl are not very successful in treating dog allergies. This is because histamine is already bound to the receptor, and there seem to be other components of allergies that do not respond consistently to antihistamines.

Medications such as steroids, Apoquel, and Cytopoint are safe for dogs with allergies when used in the proper doses and frequency. Additionally, proper bathing, omega-3 fatty acids, and other treatments can be used to maintain a healthy treatment for dog allergies.

Common treatments for dog allergies include shampooing to remove allergens, allergy testing and hyposensitization to desensitize the pet to certain allergies, medications like corticosteroids, Apoquel, and Cytopoint (a canine antibody against a cellular receptor for itch). Antihistamines and other treatments are less helpful.
