Comparison of clinicopathologic findings and urine drug screen results in cannabis-positive and control dogs
These findings suggest that accidental cannabis ingestion in dogs tends to result in mild physiological effects and minimal laboratory alterations, indicating a low risk of severe toxicity. Nonetheless, accurate identification of exposure using diagnostic tools is essential for appropriate case management. A deeper understanding of the endocannabinoid system in companion animals is key to improving clinical decision-making and assessing potential risks associated with cannabis exposure.
