Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Male | neutered | 1 year old | 36 lbs
On July 6th, my one year old dog had his back dewclaws removed. He almost immediately was acting normal, eating as usual, and wanting to play. On July 11th he got the stitches out on one paw. I took him to the vet and he put staples in both paws. He has been acting normal until today. He is very lethargic and won't eat. He has also been reverse sneezing some. He is usually incredibly energetic and loves food more than anything. I don't know if I should take him to the Emergency vet or wait.
