Here are some things you can do to help your cat:
- Keep your cat calm and quiet.
- Monitor your cat's breathing and heart rate.
- If your cat is vomiting, try to collect a sample of the vomit so that your veterinarian can analyze it.
- Bring any marijuana or marijuana-related products that your cat may have come into contact with to the veterinarian's office.
Depending on your cat's symptoms, your veterinarian may take several steps, including:
- IV fluids, if your cat is dehydrated
- Anti-nausea medication
- Sedatives, if your cat is agitated
- Oxygen, if your cat is having difficulty breathing
- A blood transfusion, if your cat is in critical condition
Treatment for marijuana toxicity can be expensive. If you are concerned about the cost of care, talk to your veterinarian about your options. There are sometimes emergency medical funds available in your area for veterinary assistance if you qualify.
