Pets on Pot—Just High or Highly Dangerous? For decades, stereotypes about people high on ma*****na have included images of unmotivated, relaxed (maybe even sleepy) people sitting on couches, eating potato chips and ice cream. Sadly, the picture is not-so-innocent when animals are exposed to ma*****na, and that is happening more frequently.

Did you know? Pets inhaling even second hand smoke from Ma*****na can exhibit signs of intoxication. One of the many signs can be hypersensitive to sound, touch. This article explains in detail.

The next time you have to go to a veterinary emergency room and are mad that it is taking so long remember this picture. The next time you are angry with the vet assistants, the technicians, or the front desk for how long it’s taking for your dog to be seen for an upset tummy or to look at a torn declaw- behind the scenes we are desperately trying to stabilize someone else’s best friend. The next time you are yelling at the hospital staff for not bringing your pet out in ten minutes- because you “paid your bill so bring my pet out to me” - you really have no idea what is happening behind those doors. Please remember there is so much more happening that you don’t see. Next time you are angry and think I just need some medicine for your furry friend remember an animal Emergency room - we work just like a human emergency room; critical Patients come first. Every time you yell at us for the time it’s taking- behind the scenes we just preformed CPR for 15 - 30 minutes and then comforted and owner that just lost their pet. We are in the industry to be an advocate to those you don’t have a voice. The next time you go to an animal emergency room - we are doing the best we can- be kind, be compassionate, we are there to help.
