Marijuana 💨
Sooooo your dog ate weed.
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 dumbass story, and stop blaming your neighbors. It’s a whole lot easier and faster to just be upfront about what is going on.
Marijuana 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 marijuana 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 marijuana 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 marijuana, 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 marijuana? 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 weed in your house, but I guarantee sweet little Ryan does. 🙃
We might not be Cowboys fans (go birds 🦅😉) but we certainly love Dallas! This squishy little girl made everyone's day here at the office so maybe she can brighten up your day too! 💚
I don't know about you, but our dogs are much bigger fans of the snow than we are! 😂Here's some tips to keep your furry friends safe and warm while they play these next few days! ❄🐶❄🐱❄
Happy new year. Wishing you all a happy and healthy year. . 🐶🐱
