The Scottish SPCA is appealing for information after rescuing a 'disorientated' dog which had ingested cannabis.
Shar pei cross Buddy was struggling to breathe and in a confused state when an officer from the charity came to pick him up in in the Linwood area of Paisley last Monday.
The dog was rushed to an emergency vet and is currently recovering well at one of the society’s animal rescue and rehoming centres.
The dog’s microchip names him as Buddy, but other details appear to be outdated.
Inspector Isla Bell, who uplifted Buddy from the home of the member of the public who initially found him, said: “When I arrived to collect the dog, he was lying flat-out on the sofa of the person who had found him. He was clearly disorientated and he was having real difficulty breathing.
“I immediately took the dog to an emergency vet, where tests revealed he had ingested cannabis. Thankfully, the vet was able to treat him and he is now being well-looked after at one of our centres.
“Initial enquiries have led to possible connections in the Woodvale area of Paisley.
“This poor boy could have had a far unhappier outcome if the caller had not taken him in and contacted us. We are keen to speak to this dog’s owner to establish how he ended up in such a state.”
Anyone with information on this dog or his owner can call the Scottish SPCA’s animal helpline on 03000 999 999.
