Cannabisforgiftning (THC)

Also known as: Marihuanaforgiftning

Tetrahydrocannabinol fra marihuana og spiselige produkter gir nevrologisk dempning hos kjæledyr. Det klassiske bildet er en vaklende, siklende hund som er lydfølsom. De fleste tilfeller er ikke dødelige, men konsentrerte produkter samt THC-holdig sjokolade eller xylitolgodteri øker faren betydelig.
