Develop your knowledge and understanding of cannabis poisoning in dogs. This is a one-part course that can also be taken as part of the Toxicology course bundle.
This module looks at pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, prevention and outcomes of cannabis poisoning in dogs, including:
- Cause – accidental ingestion (or inhalation) of cannabis containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the principal active ingredient.
- Signs – acute onset is usually within 1-3 h: ataxia, drowsiness, stupor, behavioral changes, bradycardia, hypotension, hypothermia, increased appetite, conjunctival injection.
- Treatment – emesis (within 1 h of ingestion, only if asymptomatic), absorbents (activated charcoal), supportive therapy (intravenous fluids, warming).
- Prognosis – good, recovery usually within 24-96 h.
