Question
my ferret ate some weed and wont move but is breathing what do i do

Answer
Tim,

That ferret needs a vet immediately! Anytime a ferret is not moving, that is a serious emergency and that ferret may die. Don't try and give the ferret fluids or anything if it isn't moving because that could cause him to aspirate. The ferret needs to get to a vet to reverse the effects of THC in the ferret's system. Take that ferret to the vet immediately!!!!

I hope your ferret makes it through this encounter, Tim. If it makes it through this ordeal, you might want to think about finding a different home for your ferret. At the very least, you should keep your marijuana out of reach of your ferret.

Sincerely,
Emilee Andrews
