High There Sloth Cartoon and 5 Things Humans and Sloths Have in Common

Did you enjoy the “High There” Sloth cartoon? While sloths and humans may seem very different at first glance, they share some interesting similarities. Here are five reasons why sloths are like humans:

Both sloths and humans are mammals, which means that we share a common ancestor and have similar physiological characteristics, such as warm-bloodedness and the ability to lactate.

Both sloths and humans have relatively large brains compared to their body size, which allows us to think, learn, and make decisions.

Sloths and humans are social animals, and we live in groups or communities with complex social structures and interactions.

Both sloths and humans have unique patterns of spots or fingerprints that can be used to identify individual animals or people.

Sloths and humans have long arms and hands that allow us to manipulate our environment and perform complex tasks. This is particularly evident in three-toed sloths with elongated fingers that are well-suited for gripping branches and other objects.

What Happens If a Dog Gets High From THC?

Dogs And Cats Can Get Stoned

It is possible for cats and dogs to get stoned. Cannabis (in whatever form) can be eaten either directly or indirectly through second-hand smoke, and edibles (candy, chocolate bars, etc).

THC Is Toxic To Cats and Dogs

A tiny amount of cannabis is toxic to cats and dogs. Dogs can be poisoned by THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis. Medical cannabis has more THC, and it takes less to harm dogs.

Dogs Have More Cannabinoid Receptors Than Humans

The cannabinoid receptors in dogs’ brains make the effects of cannabis more potent than they are in humans. The higher THC sensitivity of dogs makes them more likely to experience unpleasant effects from cannabis. Symptoms like these are caused by THC, the psychoactive element in cannabis.

Dogs Feel The Effects of Cannabis Longer Than Humans Do

Most pets experience symptoms 30-60 minutes after eating or smoking cannabis. Dogs that consume high amounts of cannabis may take up to 5 days to recover. Cannabis consumption can leave dogs high for three to 24 hours. A dog’s symptoms of cannabis intoxication may last for 1 to 3 days, with an average of 24 hours.

Take Them To The Vet Fast

When a dog eats marijuana, take them to a veterinarian as soon as possible. When cannabis has not been absorbed, a veterinarian can induce vomiting. Whether your dog ate large amounts of cannabis or only small amounts, you should still call the vet right away. The veterinarian may induce vomiting if the dog has eaten marijuana recently (within 30 minutes).

The Effects Will Likely Overwhelm The Animal

In the event of an overdose, only your vet can successfully treat your dog. Low-dose symptoms usually go away pretty quickly, but they may be excruciating for your dog. Dogs may also experience vomiting, shaking, anxiety, and convulsions.

How To Tell If Your Pet Is Stoned

Dogs and cats with marijuana poisoning may have glazed eyes, stumble/incoordination, pupil dilation, vomiting, coma, and, in 25% of cases, excitement. Veterinary patients with marijuana toxicity are mostly dogs, and almost all show neurologic signs.

Death is Very Rare for Pets That Have Ingested Cannabis

It is extremely rare for dogs to die of marijuana toxicity, but it is a severe condition that requires immediate veterinary care. Additionally, marijuana rarely kills dogs but can cause severe symptoms. While marijuana has a wide safety margin, it still has the potential to make your dog or cat sick and neurologically impaired.

Only A Vet Can Help If You Suspect Your Pet Ingested Cannabis

Your dog should be treated immediately if you suspect exposure. Bring your pet to a vet or an urgent care animal hospital if you notice any suspicious behaviors in your pet. Dogs consuming cannabis or edibles intended for humans need medical attention.

Ask Your Vet About CBD For Your Dog Instead

Some owners give their dogs cannabis for seizures, eating disorders, mobility issues, or even anxiety. Specialty cannabis products designed for pets into their golden years provide relief for many dogs. According to one study, CBD may alleviate pain associated with osteoarthritis in dogs.

CBD oil does not have the same side effects as THC for dogs. Chronic pain can affect dogs just like humans. Be sure to use proper treatments for your animals, and consult a veterinarian for help.

The Whole Plant Must Be Kept Away From Pets

Any part of the plant could also cause toxic exposure to your dog. The whole plant is included. Smoking, eating cannabis oil, or even eating someone’s stool after consuming cannabis can cause dogs to ingest THC. Smoking, eating dried plants, eating cannabis-containing foods (e.g., brownies, cookies, butter), and products containing hashish can poison pets.

Recovery For Your Pet Can Take Up to 5 Days

Pets rarely inhale enough marijuana to die. They may still need medical care to recover from poisoning. The minimum fatal oral dose of THC for pets is quite high. High-concentration cannabis edibles, such as medical-grade THC, have caused deaths for animals. Picky eaters, like cats and other pets, are unlikely to be exposed to cannabis.

Edibles Can Be Good For Humans, Not For Pets

Cannabis edibles may help you eat better and feel relaxed, but THC, the psychoactive compound in marijuana, is toxic to dogs. Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is cannabis’ most potent psychoactive compound. It affects dogs much more than humans. Your dog could die from three grams of THC per two pounds of weight.

A dog could become completely sedated by marijuana. It could be fatal if he or she breathes vomit. You should always get vet care if you suspect your dog has consumed marijuana.
