My 3 year old Jack Russell mix ate some cookies made with marijuana butter while I was at work today. This was at least 6 hours ago and now he is drooling excessively, seems a little lethargic and is very wobbly on his feet. He is fine otherwise, we've been able to get him to play quite a bit, but I'm really worried. It seems like he would let us know if something was really wrong and he has a ton of energy. Any help you could give me would be appreciated!

And before anyone else calls me a druggie, ask yourself how many beers or cocktails you have in a week. Alcohol causes more deaths in a year than car accidents, marijuana has caused ZERO. It's also wrecked more families. Don't be a hypocrite and go busting on my habit when you have plenty dirty ones of your own.

He ate maybe one or 2 cookies. I'm not entirely sure how much THC is in them, obviously, but I know that me and the three other people who have had them didn't really feel any noticeable effects. He seems to be getting better...

Thank you for your answers. Bruce is doing fine today, he hasn't gotten sick at all, he's been eating and has the usual amount of energy. I took the day off to keep an eye on him today, but I think he's going to be fine.

It depends on how much he ate. Years ago, my Golden Retreiver stole some special brownies off of the table and ate them. He was really buzzed looking for a while, and then he slept for about 1 1/2 days, and after a day of looking hung over and sort of burned out, he was fine. One thing that I did do right away was to get him to eat a lot (meat treats etc) to help dilute what was in his stomach. Your dog is much smaller, so it would take a lot less cookies to make the dog sick. Next time, you might want to be very careful where the cookies are. (I made damn sure that my dog never got into the brownies again). PS...this happens to dogs a lot in Humboldt County CA where I live, and usually the dogs are ok (depending on how much they ate) Good luck! ps....it has been alreafdy 6 hours, so the cannabis is in the dogs system...you're not going to be able to remove it now. I would watch the dog closely to see if it is showing any symptoms, but as far as inducing vomiting or pumping the stomach....I think that would be a waste of time and probably cause more harm than good. You could call the vet and ask for advice or if they have something to treat it with, but i honestly think that you just have to watch the dog and wait. If the dog is playing and running around after 6 hours, it is doing better than my dog was at that point. and before anyone decides to blast me...the stufff that my dog ate was at someone else's house...not my weed. OK. Glad to hear that the dose was small and that the dog seems to be improving...if you can keep the dog active and get it to eat something, things will be ok. The folks who are slamming you really do mean well and care about pets, but it isn't what you need to hear now. I think you should just go play with your pup and chill out, and everything will work out ok. Best wishes! HEY THERE....just curious how your dog is doing today, now that it has had some time to rest????

Hi, I understand that you are looking for some advice or resources to help fully train your dog or fix behavior problems. If a professional dog trainer is not an option at this time, or if you want to trt training your dog on your own (a great way to bond), I'd suggest you https://biturl.im/aU7Zl
A friend recommened it to me a few years ago, and I was amazed how quickly it worked, which is why I recommend it to others. The dog training academy also has as an excellent home training course.

My Dog Ate Pot Cookies

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/zLXs2
If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.
It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

They sometimes hallucinate. Certainly on marijuana, they have a dry mouth, their pupils are dilated, they stagger. induce vomiting and provide fluids, after which the dog recover quickly.marijuana isn't a good idea for dogs psychologically because, "the dog doesn't realize what's happening to him.
best thing to do is seek a vet...... even though they may run blood tests on the dog and determine the dog is overdosed by marijuana it still is lethal to your pet.
What follows is a list of times when you should not induce vomiting in your dog.
She has already started vomiting.
She has lost consciousness, she has trouble breathing, or she has become too weak to stand.
She has swallowed bleach, drain cleaner or a petroleum distillate product. These products will burn the esophagus and mouth parts again on the way up. (See Household Poisons to learn how to protect her from these caustic substances.)
She swallowed the material more than two hours ago. Don't induce vomiting in this case because the substance has likely passed into the small intestine, at which point your dog can't vomit it back up.

Into a small bowl, glass or mug, pour some three percent hydrogen peroxide from the bottle in your first aid kit (see Dog First Aid Supplies for more information on creating a dog first aid kit) or from the bathroom.
Using the 10 cc syringe from the kit, draw up about 3 cc's for every 20 pounds (approximately 9 kg) of your dog's weight.
Open her mouth slightly and insert the end of the syringe. Squirt a steady stream of the hydrogen peroxide toward the back of her mouth, which will force her to swallow it.
Wait ten minutes. If she hasn't yet started to vomit, repeat steps 2 and 3.
Call your vet immediately if she doesn't vomit after the second dose.
You can also induce vomiting by using syrup of ipecac instead of hydrogen peroxide.
Follow the directions closely. Do not give more than is recommended for your dog, and do not give it twice.
Your dog may start vomiting and not be able to stop after you give her ipecac syrup, so be prepared to take her to the clinic for follow-up care.
I am not going to knock your habit you have but in the future make sure that your cookies are put out away from your dog......

Hellllllllllllllllllllloooo. Have you thought about getting him to the vet as in NOW. You should care less if you get into trouble you own self or not, but get the dog to the vet and make sure that he will be okay, if you really do care for him!
