Drunk as a skunk

My elderly vizsla Marko went under anesthesia today to have his teeth cleaned and to have a benign skin tumor, which had begun bleeding, removed from his back. He's been on the couch for 45 minutes now in this exact pose:

I keep gently pushing his head and chest to his left so he's resting against the cushion, and he keeps sliding back to the right into a disorganized sprawl. Poor drunk dog.

The bandage on his forearm is pink with purple hearts.

Do those legs go all the way up? Poor fellow. My Willow (border collie, not horse) had a very hard time coming out of her last anesthetic. I'm sure Marko will be sobered up by morning. Hair 'o the dog shouldn't be a problem for him...

Poor guy! Nice pic, though.

Hope he bounces back quickly...he looks so bummed out.

What a good mommy you are....he looks so pitiful all flopped over. Last animal I dealt with that had a hangover was when our colt got gelded. That was a hoot.
