A Calgary woman is urging others to be extra cautious while walking their dogs after her seven-month-old Bichon Shih Tzu got cannabis poisoning after a walk in a public park.
Marlene D'Aoust says her dog Vienna became noticeably ill on July 18, shortly after a walk on the Bow River Pathway on the western edge of Lynwood.She took Vienna to a nearby animal hospital where she was treated overnight.
D'Aoust does not consume cannabis and doesn't keep any at home. She believes Vienna must have consumed a marijuana product that was tossed or dropped along the river pathway during their walk. D'Aoust says she's sharing details of her scary experience for the sake of other dog owners."Perhaps if someone had talked about it, I would have been way more aware.
Jackson says she has noticed anecdotally that during her clinical practise, more dog-owners are coming forward with concerns of cannabis toxicosis."The positive thing for me as a clinician is that owners are telling me. Prior to legalization, you would be trying to get that information form the owner and they wouldn't be forthcoming, whereas now they say 'yes.
