Answer 1

YOU betcha!
Called low blood sugar. You need to eat something as small as two tablespoons every four hours to keep it level.
I would recommend Peanutbutter and apples/celery. Good stuff.

Answer 2

How terrible. I hope she doesn't lose consciousness or go into respiratory failure!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was wondering why you had SO many exclammation points when describing the possible death of your little dog. Most people would be horrified. Then I read your 2 other posts on the wonders of mj and how much you love it. Irresponsible pet owner you are. here is just one of your posts; "More info on marijuana? I absolutely loveee Mary Jane(: I don't give a **** what people say it's bad, illegal, whatever, I don't give a ****. But I just want to know more info on it. What is the ABSOLUTE best strand of marijuana?? What Is the BEST way to smoke it?? What is the best kind of bong?? What's the EASIEST strand of Mary to grow indoors?? What is the coolest thing to do while baked?? How do you supress the munchies?? Haha.!!!!!" MARIJUANA TOXICITY is real. In the dog, clinical signs typically begin 30-90 minutes after the marijuana has been eaten. Because THC is stored in the body’s fat deposits, the effects of marijuana ingestion can last for days. SYMPTOMS Signs include: incoordination and listlessness along with dilated pupils, slow heart rate and sometimes urinary incontinence. Marijuana toxicity can look similar to intoxication with numerous other sedatives. It is very important for all the relevant information to be presented to the veterinarian if the pet is to be helped; veterinarians are not obligated to report to local police. If you know marijuana was involved in an intoxication it is important to make this information known. Obviously this goes for other recreational drugs as well. Urine testing similar to that done with humans can be done in dogs to make the diagnosis of marijuana intoxication. TREATMENT If less than thirty minutes have passed since the marijuana has been eaten it may be possible to induce vomiting but after symptoms have started, the nausea control properties of THC make it very difficult to induce vomiting. Further, if the patient is extremely sedated, vomiting can be dangerous as vomit can be inhaled and cause a very serious and deadly aspiration pneumonia. Activated charcoal is a liquid material used in the treatment of poisoning. Activated charcoal is given orally and as it passes from one end to the other, toxins are trapped in the charcoal so that when the charcoal passes from the patient, the toxins pass, too. This technique of detoxification may be used in the treatment of marijuana toxicity. Fluid support and keeping the patient warm may also be needed in treatment. If the patient has lost consciousness, the more intense observation and support is needed. The chance of fatality is statistically small but VERY possible.

Answer 3

It is something that happens when you don't eat enough, however you could be dizzy from a number of other possible things I would go see a doctor and probably get a blood test.

Answer 4

Yep, if I don't eat on my regular schedule and I go too long w/o lunch or something, I feel light-headed and dizzy. However, it could also be a symptom of a lot of other things.

Answer 5

i dunno are you eating too little? are you getting up too quickly? it could be ANYTHING with no information given dear.

I am not trying to be rude but for me i have dizziness because they have found out i have Vertigo. If you have continuing dizziness and are eating normal and sometimes even if you do eat very little there could be real issues.

It might be a good idea to see your doctor and have your blood drawn for a start if this is happening regularly.

Answer 6

It's okay to eat a little, so long as you're getting enough nutrients... but if you're dizzy maybe that's a sign that you're not.

Answer 7

Of course it is! When I've had a rushed day and don't eat enough, I know right away. Dizziness, headaches, lightheadedness... all of that is encompassed by not eating enough. Don't starve yourself, okay? :)

Answer 8

Well, anything can happen when you're pregnant. But you could be hypoglycemic. It's actually not healthy to eat anything 2 hours before bedtime, but hypoglycemia can be very serious.

Answer 9

No. Not necessarily.

Obviously you're a wonderful gal and we want you to be healthy whether you're pregnant or not.

Get your blood sugar levels checked.

All my best to you.

Answer 10

it may be. it may be something else. possibly a medication you take. it may also be not sleeping enough or that you are too hot. but if you are dizzy regularily it is probably that you dont eat enough.
