Question
the answer you had was helpful but I still have question. My Siena had her surgery two days ago and she is acting weird. she hides behind the bedroom door, and wines and pants a lot and shakes. Her nose is really warm. I called the doctor and they said if I want I could bring her in.Is this normal for a poodle to react this way and could it be because she is spoiled by me. Thank you.

Answer
Surgery must be very confusing to a dog.  Things suddenly change and they have no idea they were out.  It does sound like your dog has some discomfort on top of the confusion. Let the vet check her.  Give her plenty of attention and support.  Such a reaction is not common.
