Your dog ingested a significant amount of THC from marijuana edibles, which can be toxic for dogs. Immediate veterinary assessment is crucial to ensure the dog's safety.
- Monitor your dog's symptoms closely and seek immediate veterinary care.
- Be prepared to share details about the amount and type of edibles consumed with the vet.
- Keep marijuana products out of reach of pets in the future to prevent accidental ingestion.
THC, the active ingredient in marijuana, is much more toxic to dogs than it is to humans. It can lead to severe symptoms including lethargy, loss of coordination, drooling, and in severe cases, seizures or coma. Time is of the essence, so please contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital for guidance right away.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
