Cocaine toxicosis in animals is a real thing. You shouldn't do cocaine, even during the Biden administration it didn't become legal and it's more dangerous than that kratom people buy in a gas station. Drug dealers secretly despise their customers so it could adulterated with lots of bad things.

But you make a choice to be a moron, your pet is mostly a walking libido.

Dr. Jake Johnson is a cardiology resident at North Carolina State University’s College of Veterinary Medicine and was recently first author of a case study about a two-year-old male Chihuahua who was lethargic and unresponsive. His heart rate was very low. The usual questions followed but dog owners rarely admit they had cocaine laying around on a random morning and the dog may have gotten into it.


A Chihuahua electrocardiogram should be showing 140 beats per minute. This is instead what bradycardia with concurrent first-degree AV block in the pup looked like. 

I suspect the experts knew they weren't getting the whole truth right away but that patient comes first so they went right to atropine and epinephrine, then ran toxicology tests. Sure enough, they found cocaine and fentanyl and that led to the high-grade degree atrioventricular block that caused the symptoms.

Dr. Johnson wrote it up because most studies on drugs are done in a lab, real-world cases are rare because owners may never come to a hospital, and none of the literature had a second-degree AV block due to cocaine and fentanyl. And owners won't always tell the truth and he wants owners to just come clean. If you ever visit Amsterdam you will probably go to the Red Light District to see why it's famous. You probably really won't want to see why it's famous but what you will see are signs saying that if anyone that goes wrong, tell the police everything. The signs assure you that nothing you say will shock them.

They have seen and heard it all.

Veterinarians probably feel the same way. You are not the patient, the animal is, so veterinarians won't spend the mental bandwidth to think about if you don't want to feel judged or call the cops on you. Don't do drugs. Heck, don't even do legal drugs like alcohol or marijuana, but if you choose either anyway and your pet gets into it, pretend the vet is the Amsterdam cop who can't be surprised by anything you say.
