My Brittany ingested Cannabis

[redandwhitebrit]

I have a 3 year old Britney, and while hunting last week in Oregon he ingested some form of cannabis. This diagnosis was provided by a local vet called in on a late Saturday night. Her diagnosis sounded reasonable, but wondered if anyone else has had this experience? He had hunted hard all day long chasing chukars near John Day OR. At the end of the day we worked our way back to the truck and hunted quail in a creek bottom. About three hours after returning back to camp he could not stand, open his eyes, vomited a large pile of his last meal, and lost control of his bladder. He spent the night with the vet on an IV, and was fine the next day. The vet told me that there had been a number of incidents of cannabis poisoning recently.

Was he really hungry?

Sorry about the vet bill and this is nothing to laugh at but I cracked up when I read this

Funny but not funny story....
 My lab had the same exact symptoms one Friday night, a call to my daughter who is a vet tech and she recommended we get the dog to the emergency vet like right now.
 After a 90mph drive to the emergency room and a 5 minute diagnosis, the vet came out and said my dog was stoned...
 There is no way it came from my house but the neighbor… well maybe.
 Long story short, my dog stole a empty syringe of cannabis oil out of the neighbors garbage and my dog was stoned for 3 days and it cost me a $500 vet bill...…  it can happen.

Hey man, got any of that Labrador left?!

Legal pot is a cat conspiracy to keep dogs down, man.


Glad your pup turned out OK, even if your wallet didn't.

Its amazing these days a person can go out hunting and come in contact with cannabis> What has this country come to??

[ctwiggs1]

Finally... You have found something that mellowed out a Brit.

In all seriousness, hope your dog is back in tip-top shape!

That sucks to see your dog in that kind of distress and not know what's going on. Where exactly were you hunting again? Coordinates? Asking for a friend.

Do you think liquor and beer is any better?

It would sure be interesting to know how the dog ate a bunch of weed, unless someone dropped some type of edible weed which seems really rare, I don't know why a dog would eat it.

Dogs eat poop,  and I don't know why either.

Smart man you are

My sis-in-law is a vet tech and you would not believe how common this is. MJ is toxic for dogs and it can make them really messed up as the OP found out. I had a friend that thought is dog was suffering from EIC but came to find out it was likely an accidental ingestion of MJ.

On another not black walnut husks are toxic to dogs as well and can cause seizures. I had first hand experience with this.

I think  my Britt needs some weed to mellow her out  Got a pot shop down the road, now to just know how much and what kind will work on her.

[huntnfmly]

Careful that's a gateway drug for dogs she might start doing puppy uppers or in a pinch steal catnip from the neighbors.
Just sayin

[h20hunter]

Number one I'm glad your dog made it.

Number two I'm sorry but I keep imagining dog's getting high and chasing their tails.

And like was mentioned up thread, a lot of the problems are with marijuana oils.   Which are concentrated. 

It's like with chocolate, the vets biggest concern is cooking chocolate, which has a lot of concentrated chocolate.   Hot chocolate packets and candy bars are actually quite dilutued in their content.

Glad to hear your dog is ok

Sounds safer than quail hunting with Dick Cheney.

I worked at the same animal hospital a couple times, in the 90's.   Every Easter we'd get calls about "nice dogs" chomping the grandkids etc... the grandkids were taking turns shoveling chocolate to the dog.

LOL

Let me add some more clarity to the Brittany becoming a doper story.........Vet suggested that the my dog found some cannabis butter, a treat with cannabis as an ingredient, CBD oil that was not well made, etc. She related that John Day, and Dayville OR have a good size population of MJ/Cannabis users. I assume they use, because it sucks to have to live in that area........
Lots of people use the area I hunted in, elk season was on, upland bird season only a week old, so the substance could have come from anyone coming through the area I hunt.

We had a bon fire the other night and my wife's friend brought some cookies and didn't say anything. Next thing I know my dog is running with a cookie. Someone then mentioned that these were pot cookies. We got the cookie from him before he ate it. I got really pissed because I'm a driver with a CDL and didn't know about the cookie additives.

Man that would really make me mad. I knew of a friend that was on a back country hunt with another guy and the dude thought it would be funny to put mushrooms in the dinner. Needless to say he never told the other guy. Night didn't go very well for them.

If somebody drugged my kid, my dog, or myself on purpose or on accident I would have a really hard time not making them swallow their teeth.
