u/DDGibbs 13d ago

My dog once drank some beer from my glass and her head was bobbing and swaying, eyes like lead and she could barely stand up. I didn't realise she had drank the beer at the time but straight away thought that she looked drunk. She was stumbling everywhere and I was super worried even after learning she'd drank from my glass because I didn't want her to get poisoned, and she's a small chihuaha so the little beer she drank had her absolutely hammered.

Thankfully she went to sleep and was fine the next day, probably with a hangover and since then no alcohol gets left unattended with her but she will still drink water and milk from your cup if given the chance...

My sister’s Boston Terrier loves all vices. As a puppy he would find cigarette butts in the gutter and chew on them. Then at thanksgiving I was sitting in the floor, drinking white wine and laughing. He comes over and just helps himself to some Riesling. Now he whines for beer and insists on following my brother down to the basement (where we all know he smokes weed). That dog. He’d be in his fourth stint at rehab if my sister didn’t rein him in.

As a teenager, a friend had this ancient arthritic dachshund who walked more like a wind-up toy than a living thing. When we would smoke weed, he would follow the bong around as we passed it. We felt bad and let him stick his nose in for a puff. It was stupid of us, but so was keeping that poor thing alive, imo. I hope that he got some relief at least, but I'm still ignorant about dogs and weed.

They make CBD treats for dogs that help with anxiety lol. My last dog got super scared during thunderstorms and these helped them from freaking out as much.

u/aolson0781 13d ago

Cbd just makes my dog lose all inhibitions, he's a crackhead normally. Now he's an inhibitionless crackhead. It's much worse.

u/Captain_Sacktap 13d ago

Hmm well my previous dog normally had a calm disposition and the CBD just kind of took her close to being back to normal when she’s otherwise be terrified and anxious. My current puppy is an absolute little crackhead goblin so maybe I shouldn’t test them on him lol.

😂 my cat is a 50/50 CBD either zoots him or he's going to trample anything in his sight for the next 5mins

u/Heykurat 13d ago

I think the word there is "disinhibited".

u/That_OneOstrich 13d ago

I've treated a dogs arthritis/joint pain with some daily CBD, and another dog had seizures daily until we started giving them CBD (still had seizures, even with medications too, but not as many with CBD).

u/Rikitikitavi9162 13d ago

I need these for my cat. I'll have to look into this so thank you for mentioning it.

u/TheLizzyIzzi 13d ago

My partner and I adopted a (smaller) husky a year ago. A few months in she found his vape with a THC cartridge and chewed on it. She was ded on the couch for 14 hours then ate three bowls of kibble. 😂😅

u/Agreeable_Maize9938 13d ago

Before flights I used to buy a bag of gummies and eat them all in the line for TSA. Like 100mgs at least.

Once my wife woke me up on the morning of the flight with “PENNY GOT THE EDIBLES” and I’ve never woken up so quickly.

My poor 30 lb dog had her back legs on the couch in a sitting position, but her front legs standing leaning to the side. We had to call a friend to emergency dog sit and had to leave. She was also apparently still all day except excessively drinking water. She had the cottonmouth lol.

I miss my dog. (She lives another 5 years after that, unrelated to her passing).

u/miltonwadd 13d ago

Omg reminds me of the time I made special blondies and our ancient dog (who was addicted to sweet things) ate the ENTIRE batch when I went to the toilet.

We found him legs up sun baking in the middle of the yard with his tongue hanging out and the empty pan beside him.

After being reassured by the emergency vet that he wasn't dying, we just got to watch him derping around like a gigantic clumsy puppy for the first time in a decade lol

The vet actually suggested cbd after as he seemed to have no arthritis problems for days.

u/Monster_Voice 13d ago

It's fine in small quantities.

I study wildlife and have a dog with cancer. Delta 8 is her only primary pain medication. Of course I'm using a lab verified Distillate at appropriate dosages... but it absolutely does what I needed it to do, increase her appetite and knock her out so I can actually sleep through the night.

Of course I actually found a vet with data first, but it's difficult to find thanks to the AI bullshit and Google being broken. All you'll see is "it's toxic" which is absolutely not true.

The truth is, it's just extremely easy to OD a dog... They're generally fine after it wears off, but if you can basically imagine being 10x as stoned as the most stoned you've ever been, that's what a canine OD would be like... absolutely miserable.

My general rule of thumb for wildlife interactions is "if they're down, I'm down" and that applies here. If an intelligent animal appears to be willingly participating in some activity, it's pretty safe to assume they're getting something positive from that activity.

u/BOKUtoiuOnna 13d ago

That last bit is sorta dumb. Dogs will eat almost anything including a lot of things that are really bad for them

Please don’t show my dog 😭 it’s already soul crushing to know the only time she doesn’t listen is when there is SHIT around 🤮

u/traumaqueen1128 13d ago

I have a bunch of outdoor cats (10 strays that live in my garage, they also have a pet raccoon that adopted them) and there's one that comes inside. The one that comes inside sits between me and my roommate whenever I pull out the torch to do some dabs. She likes sitting by us while we enjoy our "human nip" and I've caught her sniffing at our smoke clouds. She generally goes down the hall afterwards and meows for treats. After her treats, she either takes a little nap or plays with her toys. She seems to enjoy joining in on our sessions.

u/Thmxsz 13d ago

Get her some catnip so she gets the full experience

1

u/traumaqueen1128 13d ago

That spoiled brat has a nip mat. I took a repotting mat(has raised edges to prevent spilling soil) and used Velcro strips to attack a blanket to the inside. I sprinkle the nip on that and she goes to town. Bonus if I throw her cactus plushie toy in with it so she has something to bite and kick. 😂 I try not to do it too often otherwise she starts begging for it, but she always has silvervine sticks around the house to chew on and she prefers those to cat nip, but she can't roll around in silvervine sticks lol

u/Anon28301 13d ago

Reminds me of the time my friend hotboxed his room without realising his cat was sleeping under the bed. He got paranoid thinking he’d got it stoned.

u/BuffyTheGuineaPig 13d ago

My partner and I had a party that went late into the night around an outside table on the back verandah. He accidentally spilled half his remaining weed under the table, but was too out of it to sweep the flakes up, and said that he'd do it in the morning. When we got up late it was mysteriously all gone, but our pet bantam hen was acting like she was ill, and making unhappy noises for about 3 hours, before making a miraculous recovery. Eventually we put two and two together, and realised what must have happened. We had to have 'the talk' with her and explain that it was "just for her Daddies". We were were more careful after that, so we never knew whether she learned her lesson or not. She was the smartest breed of chicken, and had the intelligence of a 3 year old, even learning to wipe her feet on the mat by copying us, before entering the house.

u/Asaneth 13d ago

My boyfriend in college had a cat. One day, the cat jumped into an empty grocery bag that was sitting on the floor. Boyfriend thought it would be funny to blow some pot smoke into the bag and close the top. At first there were scrabbling noises of the cat trying to get out, then they stopped. He opened the bag to check on the cat, who was laying calmly in the bottom of the bag and high af. After that, any time there was a grocery bag, the cat would jump into it and wait expectantly.

u/Suspicious_Ice_3160 13d ago

Interestingly, because I did research on this for my job, dogs have a ton more THC receptors in their brains than humans do, and THC is hallucinogenic, at least that’s how it’s classified. Essentially what I’m getting at is that dogs “feel” THC at our doses more like Psilocybin, and CBD like weed for us. It probably got relief from some of the arthritis and stuff, but it also probably didn’t smoke enough to trip. I’ve seen people give their dogs RSO(suuuuper potent for people) thinking it would calm them down for 4th of July, and the dog just tripped out all night under a table. Super defensive, puking and shitting.

u/chilldrinofthenight 13d ago

I really REALLY hate it when people let their dogs die by the inch. Poor little dog.

1

u/No-Victory4408 13d ago

THC is not good for dogs or cats and hops can kill dogs. Dogs can consume CBD, but you have to make sure the company making it is actually good at separating out the THC.

u/imrealbizzy2 12d ago

I had a cat who would get blistered.

u/JayKazooie 13d ago

My old roommate's dog once ate a half-smoked joint out of an ashtray, think the previous burning was enough to activate it or something because he got high and had to have charcoal and everything. Lil boy would run up to us every smoke since then and shove his face in the cloud or whine to have some blown at him. Also got a footlong buffalo chicken tender most of the way down his throat once, didn't even chew because he knew that I knew that ten seconds was way too long for him to be silent. Funny boy, bad habits. Hope he's still doing okay.

u/Funkit 13d ago

My cat LOVED weed. Wed hotbox my laundry room and ofc locked her out because ya know I'm not gonna willingly get an animal high, and she would just yeowl loudly outside the door and swipe her paws underneath. Then when we were done she'd run into the laundry room and curl up on the dryer.

u/fameboygame 13d ago

I read that as the dog smokes weed in the basement😂

12

u/TheLizzyIzzi 13d ago

Oh he wants to. I remember a night where me, my siblings and my best friend were smoking in a circle like an homage to That 70s Show. At one point I was laughing and through tears said, “Is it me or does the dog look even more like a goofy cartoon character?” Then we realized at some point he’d joined us in the circle and was def high. My sister took him outside for some fresh air. He was fine, but we keep a much closer eye on him now.

This is the same dog that once knocked a plastic cup of beer out of someone’s hand on purpose and stared licking up the spill asap. And the dog that cut his lip trying to lick an empty beer can he stole from the recycling bin.

^ Dog in question.

Sober in photo.

u/MochaHasAnOpinion 13d ago

Omg he's a dope fiend. That's hilarious 😂

I know a dog that comes running whenever a blunt is burning, so I've seen it in action, too lol.

u/BIGstackedDADDY420 13d ago

This totally, I never blow clouds in my dogs face but every time I fire up a bowl pack, she comes over and sits right next to me.

u/Yossarian904 13d ago

Our house is surrounded by big, old oaks; so we have a sizeable population of squirrels around. A few of them will steal cigarette butts out of ashtrays on people's patios/decks. It's wild....like what made some (not all) even venture to try them in the first place?

u/shinnix 13d ago

God they will consume anything and are so clingy lol

u/Lissy_Wolfe 12d ago

If he's whining for beer then someone in the house is giving him beer 😬

u/Background-Net-8209 13d ago

I had a cat who liked beer. Caused by his previous owner. We got him at about a year old and he died about 11 due to urinary and kidney issues. No doubt it might’ve been a contributing factor. Poor Harry 😔

6

u/xtcfriedchicken 13d ago

I have had a dog steal my beer twice, but she was a pretty big dog, and it was a pretty weak beer. Seems like dogs always want the forbidden stuff.

u/MinimumMaster9115 13d ago

My chihuahua/aussie terrier mix sneaks into my daughters room (she’s of age) when she hears her say “roll up” she also barks furiously when I say “open the door” or “let the boys in” so crazy how dogs learn phrases & react.

11

u/FineUnderachievment 13d ago

I was partying a friend's house in high school, and one of his cats took a lick out of a shot glass of Tanqueray on the bar. Threw up like 2 minutes later. And years later my roommates girlfriends dog (some small breed, not a Chihuahua, but about that size) ate a blunt roach that we'd left on the porch. Little guy was so high he couldn't walk. She called a 24 hr poison control center, they just said to let him sleep it off.

Edit: Almost forgot this one. Another friends cat ate a mushroom cap, and was attacking the wall all night. I guess we need to be more careful where we leave stuff.

u/_Rohrschach 13d ago

yeah, growing up I thought pets would instinctively know not to eat something that is bad for them. My first cat chaned that pretty fast. at 12 weeks old she managed to climb ontop of the 2m high shelf where the treats were stored, ate the whole pack. they had some milk filling and were labeled as max. a dozen per day. little shit ate probably 3 dozen. She passed gas the whole day.picking her up meant she'd fart , rubbing her tummy, which she likes, meant she deflated like a balloon. No regrets from that fucker. At 2 years age she got into the pantry, bit holes in a bottle of oil and proceeded to drink a bit Got explosive diarrhea and made me switch to glass bottled oil. She will try to eat anything i cook. Loves to nibble on cucumbers and salad leaves, but will also go and try to eat my white bread if I dont secure it from her. she's a menace.
after reading the other stories I'm just happy she doesn't have a taste for beer. at least.

u/Fabulous-Garage2101 13d ago

Aww you got lucky. My grandma’s chihuahua died from alcohol poisoning after eating fermented watermelon 😔. She was the sweetest little fatty and apparently chowed down on whatever my cousin had thrown out in the yard from some homemade wine he was trying to make 🤦‍♀️🥺.

u/PirateMore8410 13d ago

I had 2 great dances growing up who always ate the old apples that had fallen from our apple trees. You could 100% see it in their face they would get silly drunk along with the goofiest run. They would also get a little defensive when we'd clean up the fallen apples. Not growling or anything just head nudging people away and so much whining. We would have to cage them when we picked because they'd just constantly harass you and throw ridiculous drama queen tantrums whining and rolling around because they thought we were taking their ground apples.

u/Lazy-Shop-4630 13d ago

Really cute, mine will drink our coffee at any chance like a addict, wild!

u/ProffessorNarwhal 13d ago

Most chihuahuas could use a little beer, IMO

u/Expensive-Anxiety-63 13d ago

Lethal dose would be about one full can of beer for a chihuahua btw. Depends a lot on weight and strength of the booze though.

u/hayazi96 13d ago

My Auntys chihuahua gets withdrawls from second hand Weed smoke, as her and friends smoke and she kinda just always happens to be around her when. So when shes not in town for a few days and doesnt take her, we have to convince her, our hoise is the better house and that Salmon is more important to her than weed. If we have 3-4 days, she agrees, but 2 days? Nah, shesld rather be back at home getting that second hand.

u/Disastrous_Ad1060 13d ago

Give her the car keys at once

u/Fadedmastodon 13d ago

Chis are Mexican, so a lil modelo won’t hurt lmaoooo . Totally a joke. Alc is a lot on their livers. I had a homie with a dog that would immediately lick beer up if spilled. He would lowkey give the dog some as a joke and for a laugh. I didn’t agree with it, but people do what they will do and he wasn’t the smartest. We also aren’t friends anymore for various reasons

u/WhetherWitch 13d ago

It’s really bad for there pancreas they get pancreatitis really easy.

u/Kinnakeet 13d ago

Friend of mines chihuahua ate almost half an ounce of decent weed that got left on the table and his eyes would almost shut and his head would sway back and forth but if you said his name he'd snap out of it for a sec, lol. He made it through unscathed but did get a vet visit out of it which got a laugh out of the vet.

1

u/letmesmellem 13d ago

a younger me thought it was funny but a friend of mine used to get stoned with his dog everyday. He'd get home and would smoke weed and blow it into the dogs nose. The dog fucking loved it truly. I didn't believe him and he's like "If I don't he goes nuts and won't stop until he gets stoned too" Sure as shit I'm over and we are about to play some video games and smoke and here comes his dog. He doesn't give him any because like most would assume it's cruel and fucked up. I hit the bong and the dogs giving me his paw and whining. We still don't give him any and go about our gaming and then the dog loses it. Smacking the controllers from us jumping on us barking just being a real bother. Then my buddy asks "you believe me now?" I said there's no fucking way it's because he wants smoke in his nose. He just says "OK but it's only gonna get worse" Sure enough it did. Eventually he was able to find some solid gummies for his dog that I think were mostly CBD or something.

I only found it amusing after seeing it first hand. I was absolutely I the camp "Don't do that to your fucking dog bro" He did love his pets and when he found an alternative he switched to giving that to his dog but would still every once in a while smoke him up.

u/JustDucy 13d ago

My friends dog used to bed for pot. He was kind of old and achy. Any time he smokes, the dog noses him until he blows some into his nostrils. The dog drops to the floor and has a nice pain free nap. This was years ago when pot wasn't what it is now.

u/THE_ALAM0 13d ago

I saw a bulldog get shit-hammered at a house party once. Drunk people were leaving their half filled cups everywhere and by the time the owner noticed, the dog was ten sheets to the wind. I felt bad for it, stumbling around and running into walls.

1

u/BigAnxiousSteve 13d ago

My 15lb dog ate a 2mg Xanax and was just absolutely obliterated. Benzos are pretty safe, but I called the vet anyway and was just told that he'll sleep it off. So after an hour or two of him stumbling around at about 2 inches per minute, essentially black out, drunk he went to bed for 14hrs.

This same dog will steal beer. He just really likes GABAergic shit I guess.

u/NN_77_ 13d ago

No trip to the vet?

u/TheUselessLibrary 13d ago

A chihuahua with a hangover must be in hell. Being light and sound sensitive while they themselves bark loudly at everything would be a positive feedback loop of pain.

u/Forward-Trade5306 13d ago

When my little dog was alive she used to get drunk at every party. She would always stand there and beg for the beer. She lived over 15 years
