Veterinarians are advising pet owners to be vigilant about their surroundings after a little Chihuahua was sickened from a possible cannabis-infused edible it ate at a B.C. dog park.
Michelle Tuan says she took her Chihuahua-cross named “Dorito” to the Leigh Dog Park in Coquitlam, B.C. on Wednesday. Several hours after the visit, Tuan said she noticed her pet behaving strangely.
Dorito didn’t in fact suffer a stroke, but it may have ingested cannabis. That’s according to the veterinarian Tuan brought her dog to the day after the visit to the dog park. Veterinarian Fraser Davidson said his clinic has noticed an increase in dogs coming in regularly that have ingested marijuana. He said the main symptoms for dogs include stumbling, not responding, and falling over.
