My husky is vomiting, shaking, and lethargic after dental work?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Siberian Husky | Female | spayed | 45 lbs

My husky is 11. I let her out this morning and she was acting normal. 45 min later she was standing frozen by fence. I escorted her (she did not want to move) and placed her on her bed. She is lightly shaking consistently at the end of her breath in, and has cruched her stomach a few times. I looked outside and saw four different small vomit spots (some w grass). She is very lethargic. She has been on clindamycin hcl 150 mg for a week after a dental cleaning to kill gingivitis. Need advice!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Callie. If she is still experiencing these symptoms, then I recommend seeking emergency veterinary care this evening. She may be experiencing abdominal pain from whatever is causing the vomiting. Antibiotics can cause some gastrointestinal upset resulting in vomiting and/or diarrhea, but I do not typically see patients as sick as she seems to be. I hope you are able to get her feeling better. I hope this information helps!
