Need link to dog medical info
My old dog just ate 2 very potent* pot cookies 15 minutes ago. I am not sure if I should make my dog throw them back up or let her ride it out. Is there an online link I can turn to for advice?

*(potent= 1/2 a cookie would render the average person unable to understand how their TV remote functions for hours and hours. Person who gave these cookies to me swears that she can eat a whole cookie and still function.... this is not a trait I find admirable btw and now I wish that she would not have even brought those damned cookies here in the first place!)

7. We're back from Vet/The rest of the story
Karma (the dog) is doin fine, but she can't navigate so well at the moment. Vet gave her activated charcoal, hydrated her and sent us on our way. Karma is supposed to be able to survive the ordeal and is expected to recover tomorrow. She will be VERY stoned for the rest of the night though, I feel for her and feel like a complete idiot for letting this happen.

My step kid brought the cookies over yesterday claiming they would help with a persistent headache I have. I tried about a half a cookie last night-BIG MISTAKE!!! Sure, headache was gone for the night but so was my abilities to operate my bedroom TV!!!! I tried to give the cookies away to a friend but Karma snatched them off of the coffee table before that could happen. I knew better than to turn my back on that dog with any food left where she could get at it so that makes me doubly the fool!

I sorta figured that Karma would survive but it is better to be safe all things considered. You and everyone else who responded here gave good advice, thank you for that.
