It's crucial to recognize that when a dog ingests pot butter, it can be a very serious situation. The active ingredient in marijuana, THC, is toxic to dogs and can lead to symptoms such as lethargy, lack of coordination, drooling, vomiting, and even seizures. The symptoms you're observing, like your dog not responding and going limp, are particularly concerning and suggest that your dog might be experiencing significant effects from the THC.

I understand that financial concerns can be a challenge, but this situation is potentially life-threatening and requires immediate veterinary attention. Many veterinary clinics offer payment plans or financial assistance options, so I recommend reaching out to see what support might be available.

In the meantime, try to keep your dog in a calm and quiet environment to reduce stress. Make sure he is lying on his side to prevent choking if he vomits. It's best to avoid giving him any food or water until you can get professional help, as this might worsen his condition.

Please seek veterinary care as soon as possible to ensure your dog's safety and well-being. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask. Thank you.
