What is Weed Resin?

Weed resin is a cannabis (marijuana) resin that’s produced naturally by the trichomes of the cannabis plant. Weed resin also goes by other names, including hashish, rosin, resin, or reclaim. This natural substance does contain THC, which is a psychoactive substance in cannabis plants.

The resin usually looks like a sticky substance or a powder and can appear in a variety of colors. The resin is extracted right from the plant.

Is it possible to get high from weed resin? Yes, it is. It can even cause intoxication in dogs. The substance can also cause other medical issues in dogs.

Weed Resin & Dogs

As you’ve probably already determined, weed resin can make a dog very sick. It may take an hour or so before you notice symptoms in your dog. Keep in mind that weed resin can be lethal. Just 3 grams of THC per kg of a dog’s body weight can be lethal. While this is rare, it can happen.

What’s more, while a dog is intoxicated by the resin, he may injure himself, have seizures, or the substance can even cause heart damage.

Symptoms of Weed Resin Ingestion in Dogs

You may notice these symptoms if your dog has eaten weed resin:

  • Depression
  • Hypersalivation
  • Dilated pupils
  • Stupor
  • Increased appetite
  • Vomiting
  • Urinary incontinence
  • Tremors
  • Hypothermia
  • Excitement
  • Hyperexcitability
  • Seizures
  • Agitation
  • Increased heart rate
  • Increased respiration rate

If your dog is showing any of the symptoms above, then call the vet immediately. This is an emergency.

Treatment of Weed Resin Ingestion in Dogs

At the vet’s, they will perform a complete physical exam of your dog. The exam will include lab work and other tests.

There is currently no antidote for THC poisoning, so the vet will need to use supportive methods to treat your dog’s symptoms. These include monitoring your dog’s temperature, heart rate, and more. For dogs that are unconscious, he will be monitored for aspiration pneumonia. And if your dog develops hyperthermia, he will be given warm bedding and heating to keep him warm.

If your dog has recently eaten the resin, then the vet may try to induce vomiting and/or activated charcoal. The vet will treat other symptoms as they arise.

The good news is that most dogs will recover completely after eating weed resin. However, he may need to be hospitalized for a few days until he’s stable. After he recovers, your fur baby is sure to be back to his old self again!
