Yes, I would be concerned in that marijuana is toxic to dogs and it can lead to further symptoms such as incoordination, wobbliness, dilated pupils, excessive drooling, and seizures, tremors, and comas in extreme cases. It's rare that marijuana toxicity is fatal, but it can happen and not every animal reacts the same to the toxicity. Because of this, it's best that your dog is seen by a vet immediately for decontamination procedures. Please take him into an ER vet clinic if your regular vet is now closed; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

This is very concerning. Cannabis is toxic to dogs and you need to take him to a vet or emergency service right away. He will need to be monitored, receive iv fluids and will have to receive activated charcoal to hopefully purge most of the toxins. Please take him to a pet ER right away.

If she ingested the marijuana within the past 90 minutes I suggest you take her to a veterinarian (there is an emergency clinic in Pueblo, or maybe one of the vets in Trinidad or Walsenburg may be on call) who can make her regurgitate the marijuana. If it was longer than 90 minutes ago you should observe her. If she appears "drunk", has a very slow or very fast heart rate or appears very sleepy, she should be seen by a vet or at the Pet ER.

This is an emergency. You need to take your dog to a PetER right now. Dogs can die from Marijuana intoxication. He will likely be kept in hospital with supportive care (active charcoal, iv fluids, etc). Please take him now.

Hi, fortunately marijuana ingestion is not usually fatal in dogs. It does depend on how much of the pot was in the food he ate. There is no way to tell how severe his symptoms will be. If you can't take him to a vet, I would put him in a cool room on a soft bed with a towel underneath as they can dribble urine when this happens. Marijuana ingestions usually takes a few hours, up to 12 hours, to get out of their systems. If you notice his breathing getting extremely slow and shallow he needs to see a vet. Most likely, this won't happen and there should be no long term ill effects. Good luck, I hope this helps!
