My cocker spaniel had a comprehensive and dental cleaning today. He is 7 years and hasn’t had any troubles with shots/allergies before. Now he acts as though he is anxious with getting up and down, scratching, and sounding troubled.

Joey would have been put under anesthetic for his dental treatment and that could be causing his symptoms. Dogs can act out of sort after anesthesia. This should pass and I'd keep an eye on him tonight. If he's still acting this way in the morning, then I would take him back into his vet. Best of luck.
