Here's what to do if your dog eats weed:
If you suspect your dog has ingested marijuana, act quickly. The severity of the symptoms depends on the amount consumed, the potency of the weed, and the size of your dog.
Identify and Assess: Determine how much your dog likely ate and when. If possible, identify the form of marijuana (e.g., flower, edibles, concentrates) and if it contained other substances like chocolate, which can further complicate the situation.
Contact Your Veterinarian or an Emergency Vet Clinic Immediately: This is crucial. Do not wait to see if symptoms develop. Time is of the essence. They will likely ask for information about the amount and type of marijuana ingested. You can also contact a pet poison helpline, but contacting your vet is usually the fastest and most effective course of action.
Observe Your Dog: Be prepared to describe the symptoms to your vet. Common signs of marijuana toxicity in dogs include:

They might administer activated charcoal to absorb the toxins and provide supportive care such as IV fluids, monitoring heart rate and body temperature, and possibly anti-anxiety medication if the dog is severely agitated.
Supportive Care at Home (After Vet Visit): Follow your veterinarian's instructions carefully. Provide a quiet, comfortable space for your dog to recover. Offer small amounts of water frequently. Monitor for any worsening symptoms.
