Ma*****na 💨
Sooooo your dog ate w**d.
First, let’s get this out of the way right off the bat. Your vet does 👏🏼 not 👏🏼care.
Second. We ALWAYS know. 😏
There is no sense in denying it. Don’t make up some du***ss story, and stop blaming your neighbors. It’s a whole lot easier and faster to just be upfront about what is going on.
Ma*****na toxicity is extremely common in household pets these days. A tiny amount can cause a whole host of symptoms, and here are the most common:
🌱 Unable to stand/walk in a straight line
🌱 Dribbling urine/having accidents
🌱 Hyperreflexive around the head (flinching HARD when a hand comes toward their face)
🌱 Nausea/drooling/vomiting
🌱 Low heart rate/body temperature
🌱 Overall appearing like they’re high as a kite
Luckily life threatening ma*****na toxicity is rare, and the majority of pets who ingest THC bounce back quickly with a night of hospitalization and fluids, along with lots of treats, a dark room, and some Pink Floyd. 😉
In large amounts ma*****na can cause coma and even death, so seeking veterinary attention is always recommended. Also, I tell owners constantly that if your pet is exhibiting these symptoms and it’s NOT ma*****na, then I’m going to be really worried. So let’s all be honest here, and save yourself some money digging for a diagnosis when we already know what’s going on.
Oh and parents, if you bring your teenager with you to the appointment and your vet asks you about ma*****na? Please take a moment to excuse yourself to the restroom so we can appropriately grill the 17 year old smirking in the corner. You may not know there’s w**d in your house, but I guarantee sweet little Ryan does. 🙃
