A Montgomery County family’s walk with their dog over the weekend turned into an expensive trip to the vet after their Labrador swallowed an edible with THC in it.
Darina Guenova told FOX 5 Wednesday that on Sunday afternoon after going for a walk with her dog Lora, the Labrador looked very ill and tired while closing her eyes and was trembling.
“She started acting very weird and I thought maybe she had overheated,” said Guenova.
Dr. Deb Deans with Bennett Creek Animal + PET Urgent Care told Guenova that her Lora had swallowed an edible with THC in it.
“The dog had eaten like a cookie or something that looked like a cookie she had seen on a walk and sure enough those are edibles that are coming in all different forms,” said Deans. “Of course, our dogs are going to eat that, but the issue with our animals is they are so much more sensitive to the THC component than humans are.”
FOX 5’s Ayesha Khan called various veterinary hospitals in Montgomery County, most of which didn’t report seeing an uptick but did note that similar cases are increasing across the country.
“I’ve had three in the last couple of months and one was a ferret and unfortunately it died,” said Deans.
I call Bullsh!t. No one ever died from eating or smoking pot!
not a human or dog or a ferret. not even a mouse!
