What time did he have his operation, it takes time to get over the anaesthesia, some dogs take it harder than others.

It can take some time for the anaesthetic to leave the system, so try not to worry too much - but if you really are concerned then ring the vet. Poor chap will be a little sore for a day or two.

The best thing is sleep, and more sleep - him not you!

Aww lovely card. How is Ben now? As others have said, it does take some dogs a while to come round from the anaesthetic. However, if you are worried I would just give the vets a call to put your mind at rest.
