If your dog has ingested a “pot mom” (marijuana plant), it is important to take action immediately. Marijuana can cause a range of adverse effects in dogs, including:
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
- Ataxia (incoordination)
- Tremors
- Seizures
- Respiratory depression
- Coma
The severity of the effects will depend on the amount of marijuana ingested, the size of the dog, and the dog’s individual sensitivity to marijuana.
If you suspect that your dog has eaten marijuana, the first thing you should do is call your veterinarian. They will be able to provide you with advice on what to do next, and may recommend that you bring your dog in for examination and treatment.
In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to help your dog:
- Keep your dog calm and quiet.
- Provide plenty of fresh water.
- If your dog is vomiting or having diarrhea, clean up the mess and keep your dog away from other animals and children.
- If your dog is having seizures, do not try to restrain them. Instead, clear the area around them of any objects that they could hurt themselves on.
- If your dog is not breathing, start CPR immediately.
Marijuana poisoning can be serious, but it is usually treatable if caught early. By following these steps, you can help your dog get the care they need and recover quickly.
