Pug's Extreme Reaction After Waking Up From Surgery Racks Up 33m Views

The internet has been left in stitches after watching a video of a pug coming around after general anesthesia.

It may be hard to believe that the noise is coming from a dog but it is indeed. Roofus is screeching at the top of his lungs after having been neutered.

The clip captioned "My vet assured me he was in no pain, just coming out of anesthesia," has racked up 32.7 million views.

The video of Roofus lying in a cage and making a peculiar noise was shared by his owner Connor Schwartz (@drinktopshelf) who could most likely hear his pet from afar as the recording starts before the vet even opens the door.

Then, Roofus can be seen wailing as he lies in a cage with a blanket over him. To watch the video, click here.

It's estimated that 80 percent of U.S. dogs are spayed (in the case of females) or neutered (males), according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). There are many benefits to removing your pet's reproductive system such as reducing the risk of certain health risks like testicular cancer for males.

The AKC also states that males are les likely to roam after castration and it may help with certain behavior issues. The surgery may help reduce or eliminate leg-lifting and mounting. Most importantly, owners don't have to worry about any unplanned puppies.

There are risks involved in the surgery as canines could have a negative reaction to the anesthesia, but this is extremely unlikely, according to the VCA Animal Hospitals. Another potential danger can arise if the dog hasn't fasted properly prior to the procedure. If there's food in the stomach there is a chance that the dog could vomit while in an unconscious state.

The VCA Animal Hospitals website says: "If vomiting occurs in the absence of the swallowing reflex, vomited material can be aspirated or enter into the lungs, causing aspiration pneumonia, a potentially life-threatening condition."

Something sinister happens only rarely, and Roofus' surgery went well. So far, the video has received 4.7 million likes and over 30,000 comments, many of which have received thousands of likes.

"WHY IS THE PUG SCREAMING MY NAME?" said Ella in her comment, which has 200,500 likes.

Another comment with over 236,000 likes said: "I had an internship at a vet clinic years ago and all of the dogs waking up from anesthesia would scream but the German shepherds were the worst."

"I'm laughing but feel so bad at the same time," said a third comment.
