Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. I am quite concerned about Westside. Best case scenario this is THC toxicity (if you smoke marijuana or have edibles in the house, take a look around to see if you’re missing anything). Worst case scenario, this is something serious like a prostate or bladder tumor or infection. In either case, he needs to see the emergency vet for a good physical exam including a rectal exam. Even if you think it could be THC, the severity of his poisoning needs to be assessed- treatment ranges from monitoring at home to intensive hospitalization with seizure control and intralipid therapy. Best wishes to you and Westside.
