When Peanut the chihuahua ate a cookie that didn’t belong to him, he got very, very high.
Peanut’s owner, Reddit user Choices63, explains that they had an overnight guest, and Peanut found his stash and ate an entire weed-laced cookie. “He actually dug it out of a duffel bag. Had to work hard to get it. It was the cookie he was after, not the weed,” Choices63 wrote.
Unfortunately, the large amount of THC did not react well with little peanut, and he became unable to stand and was very paranoid. Besides being a really bad high, Peanut’s health was also at risk.
Peanut’s owner took him to a local university vet medical school and wrote: “He only weighs 6 lbs so we were concerned about how much he had, plus there was some chocolate in the cookie so just wanted to be safe. What was funny is they weren’t phased at all — clearly not the first time they had seen a stoned animal.”
Vets induced Peanut to throw up what was left of the cookie, and was fed activated charcoal to absorb what toxins remained in his body.
Ten hours later, Peanut was discharged and seemed pretty normal by the time he got home.
The moral of the story here is be careful what you leave laying around your house. And if your dog ever actually eats something they shouldn’t, be honest with your vet about what happened, because it is the only way your pet can be diagnosed.
