A DOG that became disoriented and started twitching after ingesting marijuana on the beach at Llandudno’s West Shore is now “doing fine”.

Nancy, a 13-year-old labradoodle, was on a walk along the West Shore with owner Anne-Marie Parker on Saturday, 24 June when Ms Parker noticed her chewing something.

Thinking nothing of it, they returned home later on to find Nancy in extreme discomfort, being unable to stand and twitching “strangely”.

“We dropped her off at home and went out for a coffee, but when we returned an hour later, we found her extremely disoriented, twitching strangely, and struggling to stand up,” said Ms Parker.

“I thought she’d had a seizure or a stroke and rushed her to the vets. We were just discussing whether she needed an MRI scan when she was sick.”

They rushed her to Mochdre Vets, who initially thought it was a brain problem, before later discovering she had ingested marijuana on the beach.

Ms Parker continued: “And then the unmistakable smell of weed hit us and we started to giggle - I was just so relieved she hadn’t had a stroke.

“The vets gave her charcoal so that she wouldn’t absorb any more of the drug and we brought her home.

“She was very dopey for the rest of the evening, ravenously hungry, and finally nodded off dreaming of pink elephants.

“She’s very cheeky and exceptionally clever - but on this occasion her curiosity got the better of her!

“We just want other pet owners to be aware so it doesn’t happen to them.”

A Mochdre Vets spokesperson said: “A warning to our clients to watch what your pets eat, particularly at the beach.”

“As more people are taking advantage of the warm weather, please be careful with what your pets may be picking up.

“Luckily Nancy is doing fine now, though she definitely didn't enjoy the activated charcoal.”
