Sounds like he used Domitor/Antisedan (or something like it). It is a 
reversible sedation. It can be conseidered an anesthetic, but when Domitor is 
reversed with the Antisedan, dogs wake up in a matter of minutes. I have 
never seen it given without the reversal, so I do not know what the after 
effects would be. If she is still groggy on Monday, I would take her in and 
let him have a look at her.
