If you suspect that your dog has ingested crack cocaine, it's crucial to understand that this is a serious emergency. Crack cocaine is extremely toxic to dogs and can lead to severe symptoms such as hyperactivity, tremors, seizures, an increased heart rate, and potentially life-threatening conditions.

Here's what you should do immediately:

First, do not attempt to induce vomiting unless a veterinarian specifically instructs you to do so. Inducing vomiting can sometimes cause more harm than good. Instead, focus on keeping your dog as calm and quiet as possible to minimize stress on their system.

The most important step is to seek immediate veterinary care. This situation requires urgent attention, so contact your nearest emergency veterinary clinic right away. Inform them about the situation so they can prepare for your arrival.

When you reach the veterinary clinic, provide as much information as you can about the incident. Details such as the amount ingested and the time of ingestion, if known, can be very helpful.

Your quick response can significantly impact your dog's recovery, so please take them to a veterinarian immediately. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to reach out. Thank you.
