Pot & A Pitbull

Around 3:30 today a lady calls the office and tells me that her son decided to take his dog for a run and the dog was acting a bit strange. Heat stroke would be pretty typical during these stifling summer months, so I asked the woman to bring the dog in for assessment. When she arrived with her son and the dog in tow, I initially thought that the dog was suffering from heat stroke. He wasn't steady on his feet, and he just looked a bit crazy in the eyes. Once he got in the exam room with the Dr., further examination revealed some strange symptoms that had nothing to do with the heat. The Dr. was really suspicious that the dog had gotten into some drugs. After nearly an hour and a half of ridiculousness, the dog starts vomiting up marijuana. As the dog is vomiting up pot everywhere, the 23-year-old looks the Dr in the eye and says "There is no way that my dog ate any weed!!" Finally we get it out of the kid that the dog did eat some (No, DUH!!). People never cease to amaze me. Fortunately the dog has been treated and left the hospital recovering smoothly. Good grief!
