Vet suspects dog ingested cannabis on Walthamstow marshes
A cautionary tale to dog owners! For context, our dog is a scavenger and it’s impossible to avoid her eating random things even when on a short lead.
After a walk on Walthamstow marshes where we often take her, she became very unwell; she had a seizure, could barely hold her head up, couldn’t stand and wouldn’t eat or drink. It was very scary and we went to the vets where they looked after her and thankfully she recovered as the day went on. Even after we brought her home she was very weak and pretty out of it until the next morning.
The vet suspects she ingested cannabis of some form on her walk as she’s seen similar presentations before.
Mainly, I’m posting this for awareness in case this may impact any other dogs!
Curious if anyone has encountered such a thing with their dog. An additional slight rant about all the rubbish in Walthamstow in general when it comes to dogs: banana peels (one day I counted fifteen discarded that I fought my dog away from), chicken bones, discarded fruits with pips in Lloyd park etc, you need to be constantly on guard. For reference we live in the hoe street end of poets corner.
