Hello! My name is Dr. Porter and welcome to JustAnswer!

I look forward to helping you with your pet concerns today by giving you the best possible ANSWER based on the information you provide.

I may ask you some questions and your patience and prompt replies are greatly appreciated.

I see that Poe (cute name) is wobbly and dribbling urine which is concerning but hopefully not serious!

• Could Poe have eaten some marijuana or picked up a THC edible somewhere?

Dogs that are wobbly and dribbling urine-that is the first thing we think of. Other things they can ingest include valium or other muscle relaxants, depressants. artificial sweetener (xylitol)...

Could something have fallen on the floor that he might have found?

Are his eyes glazed and pupils dilated?

OK. If there is nothing else that he could have eaten then there must have been some THC dropped that he found. Is there anything else (medication or other) that he could have gotten?

I am not terribly worried about the THC as he will simply need to sleep it off, but if you think he got something else or someone gave him something else then I would take him to the vet.

Let me put together what to watch for and how to take care of him assuming it is THC.

Thank you for the information which was helpful. Please give me about 10 minutes or so to put together your ANSWER, and try to be available at the end so I can promptly address any additional questions you may have.

Clinical signs often begin within 1-2 hours of ingestion and can last up to 24 hours.

• Loss of balance
• Drooling, vomiting
• Glazed eyes with dilated pupils
• Hypothermia/trembling-cold
• Depression
• Dribbling Urine

Home Care: Place him in a quiet dark room on the floor on his bed. Protect from stairs or hurting himself.

Make sure he does not aspirate if he vomits.

Monitor-every 2-3 hours until normal

• Rectal Temperature should be 99.5-102.5 (warm as needed)
• Heart Rate should be 60-180 bpm
• Respiratory Rate 10-30 bpm

Make sure his gums are nice and pink....I would get him to rest and not worry about making him play.

Just in case...

Find a Vet/E-Vet: Veterinarians have been very busy lately (shortage) and folks are having a difficult time getting seen quickly. You may be seen quicker at an emergency clinic but with a wait time and more expense, of course. If you need help locating vets or E-clinics you can use the following link using your zip code to search up to a 50 mile radius https://www.vetlocator.com/hotline.php

Good!

Please let me know of any questions you might have, hope you found this helpful/informative, and that Poe has an uneventful night and great recovery!

Other things that can cause similar signs include antifreeze, PCP, LSD, mushrooms....

Just always worried they pick up somewhere outside...

He should do fine!

Well, hopefully he did not give him anything dangerous! Keep a close eye on him...if you notice anything other than what I described then please take him to the vet asap!

Lay him on the floor so he does not roll off and you can easily monitor his vitals!
