According to Coquitlam veterinarian Dr. Rajan Kansal, pets getting cannabis poisoning has been on the rise since legalization in 2018, but it's very rare to see an animal ingest cocaine. Kansal says, however, it's possible that's what happened to a 5-year-old Siberian husky named Halo on Saturday. Kansal said a urine test came up strongly positive for cannabis and slightly positive for cocaine. She said Halo began having convulsions, his hind legs wouldn't support his weight and he lay down, closing his eyes. Halo, a five-year-old Siberian husky, rests at home after being treated for poisoning involving cannabis and possibly cocaine on Saturday.
