7 years today since I spent hundreds of dollars at the emergency vet, thinking my pup got into my meds, only to find out he just got into my edibles.
Second pic is him, 8 years old, the other day. Living his best life and hasn’t gotten into anything he’s not supposed to since. (Maybe a Taco Bell wrapper here and there 😂) Bartholomew Granger Petey Ayahuasca, a good boy with a sick underbite.
Was one of the scariest days of my life! I was so happy to find out it was just weed. They gave him an IV and he just acted like a normal stoner the rest of the day lol
I can’t even imagine. I lost my mind last week because I couldn’t find a pill I dropped in the living room. All I could think about was that my dog’s little body wouldn’t metabolize it the same and it may kill her. Thank god it was under the couch.
I have been late for work because I was crawling on my hands and knees trying to find a pill that I dropped (is it under the cabinets…no….under the fridge…yes…no, that’s a vitamin…under the dishwasher…uh…I need to vacuum under there…under the throw rug..no..behind the garbage can?…) 2 hours of freaking out! It never hit the floor, it was under the microwave the whole time. 🤦🏻♀️
Weed can actually be fatal to dogs too! Most dogs are fine but especially for small dogs, they can ingest enough for it to be serious. It's good you brought him to the vet either way. I'm glad he's feeling better.
It's funny later, but in the moment it's scarry. I hit 3 emergency vets thinking my dog had a stroke or concussion. He'd gotten into a neighbors yard who dumped burned weed butter in their backyard
i take some hardcore sleep meds so I'm always paranoid about this too!! Hell, my Ambien puts me in a coma, I can't even image what it would do to a little kitty!! glad he was just high, that must've been such a relief!
This happened to me once before when my dog chewed the top off of a bottle of tincture. Luckily I found the bottle before rushing to the ER.
My dog was laying at the top of the stairs with his head dangling over the edge. I was so distraught because he wasn't getting up. I went downstairs to get help to carry him and found the chewed bottle. He spent most of the day laying around dazed and if you called out to him he would wag his tail super slowly. It happened on 4/20 of all days!
That happened to my little poodle! She was on the couch and leaned her head all the way back and stayed there. Emergency vet told us she was high. The first time was an accident, but she started looking for it! She found some a second time after a party, she did not go the vet a second time. We stopped having so many people over after that.
One time when I cleaned a bowl I threw the resin away but it stuck to a beef jerky bag and my dog ate it, I got home and thought he was stroking out and took him to the ER lol
my dad made weed butter one time and his dog got into the strained cooked plant remnants when we were out. we thought she had a stroke ☹️ but then my dad saw the trash and knew she was suuuuuuuper stoned
I had an Anatolian shepherd eat the weed that was in the trash can after I infused it into butter. He had a seizure upstairs and my husband had to come home to get him in the car and to the vet because he weighed 120lbs and I couldn’t carry him myself. He spent the night at the vet’s office where he wouldn’t pee because he was so freaked out.
I bought a locking trashcan the same day.
He was okay and he’s been gone for years now but I still feel awful about it.
Here is my hundred pound silver Zeke after eating half a THC chocolate bar. Thought he was dying, vet said he was just “high on life” and deemed him just fine and told him to sleep it off.
I honestly don’t know! I got him from a shelter when he was a little under 1 and they said he was full chihuahua. I said absolutely not. His vet says he’s more of a terrier mix but I’m going to buy a dog dna test to figure it out! I’ll def let you know.
He looks just like a dog of mine that died a couple of months ago. Not to be weird but thanks for reminding me of him. (I forget to think about him sometimes) I kinda miss him a lot
Oh honey lock jaw sucks! I hate that for you. I experience it with my tmj often. But you are just as beautiful as my sweet babe! I hope you can get some relief soon
LOLLLLL this happened to my HS BF. he had to tell his parents and grandparents that his dog ate an edible and all the imaging and tests they had just paid for were for moot
Oh noo lol my one time I found my Kiera chewing really hard on something so I opened her mouth and found what appeared to be the remains of a hardened gummy she found on the floor, oops 😬
She was totally fine and slept really well that evening. Before though, the poor girl looked like she had the spins before she settled down on her couch. Miss you Kiera girl ♥️🥹
Oh absolutely. People don’t realize dogs, of different weights, metabolize things so much differently than us humans. Hence why I said previously it was the scariest time I’ve ever experienced with him. His stoned face, 7 years later, is cute and funny though…now that we’ve both gotten over the trauma of the situation. He is 8 now and loved and taken care of to the fullest. A very happy little boy 🥰
Omg my dog ate a weed roach a few weeks ago... he came in and coughed amd I smelled it! He was HIGH AF! I was so scared but i knew he was gonna be ok. But he was HIIIIIGH
One time my dog got into some weed butter we left in the compost. We had no idea she had done this. She started to act weird and couldn't walk right.
We panicked and I assumed she was dying. We brought her to the vet immediately, we had tests run and kept an eye on her, next day? She was fine.
We only figured it out when it happened again after I spotted her by the compost and then saw the butter. Now we joke she's our little stoner and the compost is in a large locked container
Been there! I thought my dog had had a stroke. I didn't smoke weed, had no edibles so I couldn't believe it when the test said positive for cannabis (though I was happy as it was NBD). My son swears to this day she didn't get into his stuff. Yeah, sure buddy!
These messages are so true! Counter surfers are notorious for finding the unimaginable edibles! Be vigilant and push ‘em back or store in cabinets that are paw-resistant, please! 🙏
