Maybe Cocaine Bear could tell us.
I just came for the comments from irrational dog owners to say “anyone who leaves drugs around their dogs ought to have cocaine shoved up their noses until they die”.
Call the cops on the owner and find a better home for the dog.
The "based on true events" is a bit of a stretch.
Someone dropped a bunch of cocaine that was found by a bear. The bear ate it and the bear died.
No rampage. No dead people. Just poof. Dead bear.
The true events are a 90 second short.
What do you do if your dog ingests cocaine?

I know
Kick your self in the ass for possessing cocaine first
Then kick yourself in the ass again for leaving it where your pet can get at it.
Cocaine Bear reminded me more than any other movie in the last 20 years of my childhood favorites in the 1980s. Just campy enough to be fun to watch, just slightly enough creature horror to make my darling bride startle at the jump scares as she watched it next to me, and just enough character development and action that my kids loved it.
Note that these are the same kids who claimed that me watching “The Ghost in the Darkness” (Val Kilmer, based on the lions of Tsavo story) traumatized them for life. I mean seriously, what 10 and 8 year old doesn’t love lions but somehow also at 18 and 20 are thrilled to watch a bear totally mauling an idyllic park???
1. Did the cocaine fall out of the delivery vehicle and land in an area with bears? Yes.
2. Did a bear find the cocaine? Yes.
3. Did the bear ingest massive amounts of cocaine? Yes.
4. Was the bear in the country illegally or otherwise part of a politically favored and/or protected class? No, the Endangered Species Act doesn't apply and the bear doesn't have a name that can be put on the register of active voters.
5. Did the bear get high, believe that he could negotiate with a bunch of Eurotrash terrorists that seized Nakatomi Tower, sniffle a lot, and have sudden anger issues? Presumably yes, albeit it was a short ride.
So, it's totally a based on true story and because of #4 it's totally ok to make a movie about it that stretches the events just a little bit...by maybe 88 minutes and 30 seconds. :)
This is some good s$#t man, what is it?
Labrador.
Labrador?
Yeah, my dog ate my stash. I had to follow him around for 3 days to get it back.
SPEW!
I meant pets...
The true events are a 90 second short.
Sorta like Cujo would've been if the family was armed...
In fact if people went about armed and actually said what they meant most movies would be very short.
Either way works. :)
30 years ago I treated a drug detection Rottweiler that ingested a bag of coccaine. I used diazepam and fluids to control the seizures. There was no protocol for this and I treated each symptom as it presented itself. It was a rough night but the dog, “Tank”, survived to the chagrin of the local druggies in Northeast Mississippi.
I was raised in Hickory Flat..................
Finally an answer to my question of what do you do if.
