Yeah, I noted that too. I would think they both would be poisonous but I'm not sure. But, that said, how often do you ever have a PURE indica strain?
no prob! happy to help. if you poke around the links on that site, they have an entire list that is pretty comprehensive on what is poisonous to your pet. They even break it down by cat, dog, bird, etc... and they list all the plants you may have around your house that are bad, as well as, all the safe ones.
Here you go guys. Please pay attention to the parts I put in bold. Marijuana, known by many names, needs very little introduction; we all know it is a popular recreational drug smoked illegally by millions of people worldwide. Its psychoactive ingredient is delta 9-tetrahydrocannabinol, more commonly called “THC.” Regular marijuana is typically 1-8% THC while hashish, made from the flowering tops of the plant and their resins, is typically 3-6% THC. Other properties of THC give it controversial medicinal properties: appetite stimulation and nausea control. THE VICTIM The usual pet toxicity case involves a dog that has inadvertently eaten a stash of marijuana. In the dog, clinical signs typically begin 30-90 minutes after the marijuana has been eaten. Because THC is stored in the body’s fat deposits, the effects of marijuana ingestion can last for days. SYMPTOMS Signs include: incoordination and listlessness along with dilated pupils, slow heart rate and sometimes urinary incontinence. Marijuana toxicity can look similar to intoxication with numerous other sedatives. It is very important for all the relevant information to be presented to the veterinarian if the pet is to be helped. Veterinarians are NOT obligated to report to local police. If you know marijuana was involved in an intoxication it is important to make this information known. Obviously this goes for other recreational drugs as well. Urine testing similar to that done with humans can be done in dogs to make the diagnosis of marijuana intoxication. TREATMENT If less than thirty minutes have passed since the marijuana has been eaten it may be possible to induce vomiting but after symptoms have started, the nausea control properties of THC make it very difficult to induce vomiting. Further, if the patient is extremely sedated, vomiting can be dangerous as vomit can be inhaled and cause a very serious and deadly aspiration pneumonia. Activated charcoal is a liquid material used in the treatment of poisoning. Activated charcoal is given orally and as it passes from one end to the other, toxins are trapped in the charcoal so that when the charcoal passes from the patient, the toxins pass, too. This technique of detoxification may be used in the treatment of marijuana toxicity. Fluid support and keeping the patient warm may also be needed in treatment. If the patient has lost consciousness, the more intense observation and support is needed. The chance of fatality is statistically small but possible.
All true. MJ isn't a definite death sentence for every dog. It just CAN kill them. If they eat a lot, obviously the chances are better even in an otherwise healthy animal. Often death is a result of a scondary complication e.g. you dog becomes dehydrated from vomitting/diarrhea which then leads to dmage of the animal's kidneys. If this isn't recognized immediately, its life is in serious peril. The unfortunate thing with pets is that they can go from "just fine" to "dead" very quickly.
yeah. lots. We used to also be involved in a couple rescue programs so were trained in basic vet medicine/first aid, etc.
Dogs? Cats? Horses? Small children pretending they're dogs? COOL! Who's 'we'? What do you do now, I mean with animals?
Cats, dogs, fish, a family of racoons that think they live here. "WE" = wife and me. Now, I am a consultant to commercial famers (design greenhouse systems, recommend control equipment, stuff like that). As for what we do with the animals... we moved to a house with a much smaller yard, so we can't do the whole rescue thing anymore. Besides, we started keeping more animals than we adopted out so we just take good care of the ones we have.
