My Dog ate my stash! *Please read if you make butter and have a dog*

[mage]

Hey

Yesterday i made some canna butter. I boiled the leafs from a 4 foot tall male in butter and water for abt 2 hrs. Then i strained the leaf matter out and squeezed as much liquid off it as i could and put the butter water mixture in the fridge to cool overnight.

Anyway i had to dispose the leaf matter and i wasn't keen on putting it in the bin (cos like if a cop or whatever went through my bin they would find it) and leaf matter if a bitch to flush down the toilet so i decieded to bury it in the backyard in my garden.

Anyway my poor dog dug it up and ate most of it. I should have known better!! As if he wouldnt eat it, like they eat fucken anything, esp when its covered in butter. Dog eat grass, flowers etc and having butter all over it would have made it seem like a treat.

Anyway its not ... he woke up today sick as shit. My partner said he looked like he was drunk and wasnt eating his food so she took him to the vet. we were afraid he had a tick or been bitten by a spider.

He was at the vets all day they ran all blood tests and came up with nothing, they ran a venem test and came up with like a light indication (full blue ment he'd been bitten by a snake and his came up light light blue so inconclusive)

I went and saw him at lunch and he was so dosile. like there were cats and ppl he didnt know at the vets and he was just out of it, not his agro self at all.

I picked him up after work and the vet had full on blamed it on his back (his type of dog has a ton of back problems) and gave me back medication for him and also gave him some injection.

I took him home and i took him out the back and he imediatly went over to where i buried the leaf and started eating it and im like holy f***en s***!! Then i called the partner who told me abt the turd he did and i went and looked at it and it was digested leaf!

Hes been tripping balls for like a full day now, hes stonned as. i think hell recover but i wish to god that i hadnt put him through this endevour. i dont even care about the $450 the vets cost me.

he means the world to me and id fucking hate myself if i killed him

please take my warning and if you are going to make butter and have a dog please dont make the same mistake i have

ie dispose of the leaf matter properly!

my dog eat my cookies and made a full recovery

 

[rocky5]

my dog does it all the time,eats bud and sticks and when
i make butter goods i have to be extra carefull as he gets
too out of it.
cooked goods are too heavy for them.
your dog will recover.
i try to be carefull as i can but he always finds something.

make sure you keep him hydrated rub some water in the
inside of his lips and mouth if hes not drinking.

I know this feeling too well. You have to keep like a step ahead of them ...

The water idea is very good im going to go do that now.

He's in front of me in his bed sleeping it off, he wasn't doing too bad when i got home but like i said before i took him outside and he got back into the leaf matter.

I still feel like a c*** for doing it, like i've had some pretty bad trips on acid & pure mescaline. I image it would hit him about a thousand times harder too, there was still a bit of thc oil on the left over leaf.

I've been doing a lot of googling and it seems to be a not so rare occurance and most ppls dogs seem to sleep it off

poor thing ... im going to go give him some love and put some zep on for him ..

Yes try to hydrate ^ 4 years ago my little ichy-wa-wa ate some little buds i threw on the floor for my other dog and HOLY SHIT we thought she was gunna die, she would just fall over and when you put your hand near her she would bug out like she was far sighted and near sighted then would convulse a little then pass out. We ran her too the vet at like 2 in the morn and they were like shes just dehydrated and might have ate somethin so they put 2 big water shots in her back and made her look like a miniature camel, poor thing. The bill was 350 and they said if it happens again not to bring her back since she was just dehydrated. Scary to say the least.

Frightening, but far from deadly.

Relax brah!
You'd need a lot more than any dog could possibly eat.

In the '60s there were some rather cruel experiments on dogs to try to find the lethal THC dose.

First they fed them hash.
But digestion time limited the dosage and a harmful dose was just not possible by oral administration.

So, they dissolved hashish in pure ethanol to saturation.
Then injected the tincture directly into the dog's carotid artery!

The results were inconclusive.
They kept upping the dosage with no apparent harm.
(Other than the symptoms that your dog displayed, and sleeping for days.)
Before they could get enough THC into them pups to do damage, the ethanol became the limiter.

I'm sure some died for alcohol poisoning finding that limit. But none died from THC.

Make da bugger comfy and put on some good tunes, he'll be jus' fine.
But, you might have to start hiding your stash from him.

Was just about to post something similar to this; I don't think your dog would be in harm's way if he had just eaten the leaves, or whatever he had (being that cannabis isn't toxic).

Actually THC can be toxic to dogs. One of the effects it has is to slow the heart rate and breathing, in some dogs this can lead to death.

My dog ate some of hash one time and was stoned as hell for the better of the day. It also made her incontinent. She would just be standing there and start peeing (she is house broken).

Personally, I think purposely feeding cannabis to your dog is cruel, they dont know what the fuck is going on for one thing. I equate this to dosing someone with LSD and not telling them.

"The most common route of exposure to pet animals is oral. Unfortunately, there have been cruelty cases involving smaller animals, such as a cat placed under a large bowl or bucket and someone blowing their used smoke in with the cat, exposing the pet to toxic levels of THC. In dogs, clinical signs develop within 30-90 minutes after ingestion and even faster with smoke. The effects of the THC may last up to 72 hours. The most common clinical signs of toxicosis in the dog include depression, ataxia, bradycardia (slow heart rate), hypothermia (low body temperatures), vocalization, mydriasis (dilated eyes), muscular incoordination, respiratory depression, hypersalivation, vomiting, diarrhea, urinary incontinence, seizures and coma. The most consistent clinical sign in dogs is central nervous depression, usually appearing as if the dog was falling asleep. Additional clinical signs that may be seen include hyperreflexia (exaggeration of the reflexes), hyperesthesia (increased sensation in the nerves of the skin), and nystagmus (rotation of the eyes). It is rare that a lethal dose is taken, although the period of depression may be prolonged.

Diagnosis is based on clinical signs and a history of exposure. Unfortunately due to the illicit nature of the drug, a history of exposure is often not forthcoming. THC is difficult to detect in body fluids because of the low levels at which it is found in plasma. Urine testing early in the course of exposure may help confirm the diagnosis.

In the absence of a history of exposure to marijuana, diagnosis may be confused with exposure to barbiturates or opioid drugs, various poisons, hypoglycemia, or even encephalitis.

When the history of poisoning is forthcoming, the goal is to remove the drug from the digestive tract through the induction of vomiting followed by the use of activated charcoal to prevent absorption. Additional treatment is primarily supportive. Comatose animals are usually treated with IV fluids, treated for the hypothermia and are given valium to control seizures when present."

as of late my great Dane has become obsessed whit treats, he actively search for leftover food on tables, and munchies leftovers in front of the sofa, he has eaten a bud or two, it seems to confuse him, but other than it seems to do no harm. but since he is a big boy of 75 kg, i guess the relative dose is quit small, hes a sweet boy snooring like a freight train

I would love to see some proof of the bolded part of the quote above.

I just had to put my beloved Lab to sleep last week. In his lifetime, he had gotten into a few things here and there, though the thing that had made him the sickest was getting into spoiled foodscraps (rancid bacon grease) from the garbage. The ONE time he had gotten into edibles, he got up to the garbage where I had put the t-shirt I had filtered canna butter through. Well, after awhile he got as stoned as you or I would have, then drifted off to sleep. I checked on him all that night, kept waking him up etc..needless to say he was fine after it wore off, if not a much more mellow dog because of it. Granted he was 100+ pounds. I could see if it was a little 10 pound dog getting into something like that and why there would be cause for concern.

Ask your veterinarian then, or read any good book on dogs, cannabis is listed under poisons in most books for a reason.
Both will tell you weed aint ment for pups, while it's rare for dogs to die from ingesting weed it can happen.

Either way their better off without it.

 

[ThePizzaMan]

Your dog will be fine...but you should really not let him around your areas that you are doing this stuff in...or he will continue to get sick...and that is not fair to your dog.

My cat would like to walk in to my grow and eat the coco/perlite mixture. One day he got seriously ill from it....certain things can be harmful to animals stomachs...much different than humans. From then on, and $300 later from the vet bill...I now keep my area off limits.

Animals are like children..you need to do thie thinking for them unfortunately.

Hope your pooch feels better.

Good thread.

 

[Babbabud]

I would never feed my animals pot.... But I would still like to see some proof of any animal dying from Cannabis poison. I would like to see some proof of this. If its in a book somewhere then it should be easy to find proof for a statement like this. Having proof is a lot diff then someones OPINION.

 

[Miss Blunted]

Hope the little bugger is okay...keep us updated Don't get down on yourself, I have to shoo my kitties off plants and trim all the time. They love it for some reason.

Page 393/4 has mention of horses and mules dieing after eating a lot of mj, 35 kilos I think it was a silly amount I know.
The amounts needed to kill an animal are massive but it does prove that it is possible.....tho unlikely

Mage your pup will be fine in a few days and he probably wont go near weed ever again.

 

[el Dream Reader]

Give plenty of water, I've dosed myself with way too much cannabutter and all I got was dehydrated and I woke up with a headache. I do this about twice a month

 

[RetroGrow]

It won't hurt him, but don't let him get any chocolate!
Dogs can eat rotten meat that would kill us, which is why rotten meat is the worst smell to humans. Evolution at work.
Don't tell Sarah Palen!

 

[cannadelic]

when I first read the title of this thread it sounded like you were looking to process the cannabis back outta your dog

 

[supermanlives]

my dear departed last dog once ate half a tray of brownies. he was 125 lbs and layed down without moving much for a full 24 hours. he made a full recovery and developed a distaste for brownies. chocolate aint good for dogs anyhow
