My dog ate meth or coke. Should I worry if there are no symptoms?

Question

hey! so It's pretty urgent but i had some friends over last night for drinks and things got a bit carried away. Anyways this morning i left the room for about five minutes and when i came back the little baggie of either meth or coke was gone off the table and my dog looked very suspicious so, safe to assume she had ate it. i was not sure of the amount because i only know gram measurements with marijuana but if laid out on a table itd be close to a dime? It was around 9 today but no symptoms yet. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 1 year and 5 months old | 97 lbs

If Noelani had ingested either meth or coke this morning, I would certainly have expected signs to develop by now (8 hours later). If the bag was well sealed and ingested whole, it may pass in her GI tract without her absorbing anything, but it is always safest to have her examined. We commonly see significant excitation with these drugs which can progress to heart or nervous system problems including seizures. If Noelani starts developing any signs of hyperexcitability, I would recommend having her seen by a veterinarian immediately. If you have questions about potential toxicities, my best recommendation is to contact ASPCA Poison Control Center. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control Good luck! I hope that was helpful and that Noelani is fine. Thanks for using PetCoach.
