THC Toxicity

Though rare, marijuana poisoning in pets is on the rise as the result of pet owners having increased legal access to marijuana and marijuana-infused products (both medicinal and recreational).

Tune in to this informative episode of the VetFolio Voice podcast to learn about the sources of THC toxicities, the clinical signs, diagnostics, and decontamination and treatment plans, as well as how to manage the rare case when the toxicity is severe.
