A New One For Me
Not a new dog but a new problem. Little history first. Last year or so I brought my setter to the vet. We figured he'd eaten some wood, it got lodged in his gums and infected a gland in behind his eye. The eyeball bulged out in a most grotesque manner. Through medication and mortgaging the house the problem eventually cured.
So, this morning my wife takes the dog on his usual walk on the lease because he still wants to eat just about anything he comes across. They get home and the dog gets his treat then crashes on the couch as he usually does. Only this time he becomes very lethargic very quickly. He can't stand, or raise his head, simply won't move and seems to react in pain when I touch him. I put him on a blanket, slide him to the door so I can get him closer to the car. We're off to the vet.
He's still staggering all over the place.
We now have a diagnosis but I'm going to let you folks have a kick at the outcome. Your thoughts about what was going on then I'll come back and let you know the verdict.

Very generalised symptoms.....Lyme disease ? ..
Many animals can have Lyme disease and show no signs. In dogs, the most common signs include fever, loss of appetite, painful or swollen joints, lameness that comes and goes, swollen lymph nodes, and lethargy. If Lyme disease is left untreated it can lead to damage in the kidneys, nervous system, and heart.

Yep! High as a kite. And we have no idea where or how he got into the stuff. Cigarette butt or whatever seems the best bet. Vet says she's seeing this more and more.

oh wow! VERY INTERESTING, could have gotten it from anywhere realistically, alot of kids like to smoke on catwalks, ravines, parks etc could have easily picked up a roach there some how.
alot of you guys really know your stuff LOL, might as well ask the forum instead of the vet!
i hope your dogs alright sawbill

Snap my daughter dog had the same event a couple of month's ago when she visited with a friend who's brother is into that stuff, got hold of an edible from the floor and same problem with associated vet bill, he felt bad and paid the bill.
