My dog ate a marijuana chocolate edible. Can I help at home?

Question

35 lb dog ate mariguana chocolate edible, 5-15 gm THC, about the size of a 1/4 of a Hershey bar. Windstorm w/no electricity can’t get to an emergency clinic. Invested at about 5pm, still can’t get up, with waves of irrational heavy breathing. It’s really worrying me, anything I can do in the meantime? It was in a sealed air tight aluminum bag, put in my purse and managed to find it. Help Please??! Pet's info: Dog | Shiba Inu | Male | neutered | 35 lbs

Although the THC content can cause some severe symptoms in dogs, it is not likely to be fatal or to cause any long lasting effect, the symptoms can last up to 48 hours though so i would recommend taking him to the vet the first chance you get to get supportive treatment. the chocolate itself is actually more dangerous that he canabis but if the amount is not more than 15 gr then this is fine as well, it's a low amount of chocolate, nothing that would cause any serious toxic effects.
