How big is your dog? The bigger your dog is the more likely that she will be ok. Keep her in a safe, quiet, dark room where she cannot hurt herself. She may vomit, which could result in aspiration pneumonia if she's too comatose to control her airway. (If she vomits, she could suck some vomit down her airway into her lungs resulting in pneumonia). In a worst case scenario, she could stop breathing due to the severe depression of brain activity. Her blood pressure could also drop dangerously low which could potentially cause kidney damage. If you are absolutely unable to get her to a vet for financial reasons, just keep her in a safe environment away from noise and lights. I'd give it a 50/50 that she may be just fine; however, the other 50% obviously is concern that she may suffer severe complications which could potentially include death. She should start to improve over 12-24 hours but it could take upwards of 2-3 days to be back to normal if she recovers well. If you are able to find a way to afford getting her to the vet, your vet can treat her with IV fluids to help maintain her blood pressure and help speed up metabolism of the THC. They can give her anti vomiting medication to help reduce the risk of aspiration pneumonia, and they can treat with medications to help support heart rate and blood pressure if her heart rate is dangerously low. Best of luck, I hope she does well.
