The vets at Vet Marlborough have seen a recent increase in the number of dogs presenting with symptoms of ma*****na poisoning.
Even small amounts of THC, the main toxic element in ma*****na, can be toxic to dogs and lead to symptoms such as:
Lethargy
Disorientation
Dilated pupils
Tremors
Incoordination
Urine leakage
In severe cases, seizures or coma can occur. Cats show similar signs.
Dogs will ingest the dried plant material, edibles, vapes, concentrates or even human waste.
Symptoms may be seen as soon as 30 minutes or up to several hours after ingestion and can last as long as 3 days. It is a very unpleasant experience for the affected pet to go through.
Your vet may need to provide supportive care while your pet recovers.
Preventing access to these products is an essential part of keeping your pet safe and happy.
