Ma*****na toxicity in dogs and cats

Dogs and cats can be affected by THC(ma*****na) by ingesting it directly or secondhand smoke. Dogs are affected by ma*****na more so than humans due to the way they process the drug compared to humans. It only takes a small amount to cause toxicity in dogs and cats. Exposure is often due to the curious nature of dogs or being in the same room as a person smoking it. It is important to know if your pet had exposure from inhalation or by ingesting. The level of toxicity can range in differences between pets because just like people it affects everyone differently. There are multiple signs of ma*****na toxicity in pets, but some of the common symptoms are hyperactivity or sleepy, disoriented or very vocal, vomiting, and some may experience dribbling of urine.

If you think your pet may have been exposed to ma*****na please call the ASPCA Poison Control line at 888-426-4435, and seek medical attention immediately.
