Your dog has ingested a THC edible gummy, which can be toxic and harmful. It's important to act promptly to ensure his safety and well-being.
- Stay calm and monitor your dog for symptoms.
- Watch for any signs of distress or unusual behavior.
- Contact a vet immediately if symptoms appear.
THC, the active ingredient in many cannabis edibles, is not safe for dogs and can cause symptoms such as drooling, tremors, lethargy, and in severe cases, seizures. Keep a close eye on your dog and try to figure out how much was consumed to provide your vet with accurate information. Your vet may recommend bringing your dog in for observation or treatment, depending on the amount ingested and your pet's symptoms.
If this is an emergency, please seek immediate veterinary care.
Book a consultation with a licensed vet at Dial A Vet for just $49 AUD if you're unsure or symptoms are getting worse.
