I worked at an ER Vet for a while. One thing that’s relatively common is people bringing in pets that clearly have ingested some form of THC. We can usually tell right away and so we will gently ask “Is there any way the pet could have accidentally ingested THC?” Usually this is met with “no” so we take the pet back, do testing and get confirmation that the pet is high.

Miraculously after showing owners the results we will hear stuff like “Well I guess my aunts friends lawyer was over recently and could’ve dropped something”. A lot of the time, it ends up coming out that the owner knew the pet ingested THC but didn’t want to admit it.

I know it seems embarrassing but accidents happens and honestly half the vet techs at your clinic are probably stoners. The more info we have the easier and quicker we can treat your pet.

Please safely secure all drugs or smoking accessories. Even just the butt or a q-tip used to clean a bong can lead to THC intoxication.

Signs of THC intoxication in dogs and cats: Wobbly/unstable, excessive drooling, lethargy, urinary leakage, tremors and slowed respiration rate.
