 sickness after being partially put under?  I dont have much experience with 
 this.  Any suggestions or causes?  thanks for any help.

Could be from the anesthetic. But usually on OFA's a reversible sedation is 
used, and most dogs are up in minutes, and back to normal in a couple of 
hours. Sometimes dogs with lower metabolism rates can take the sedative 
longer to wear off. If she is extremely lethargic and not eating I would 
probably call the vet, just to be on the safe side.
