Unfortunately, due to the high demand of heroin and the inability to keep up with demands, drug sources have found another opioid to flood the market &#8211; fentanyl. Fentanyl is 50 times more powerful than heroin.<\/p>\n<p>With the increase of these drugs in people&#8217;s homes police and veterinarians are seeing an increase in exposure and even death to our pets. We lost our beloved musician legend Prince to fentanyl; more people and now pets are suffering the same fate.<\/p>\n<p>The curious nature of a cat or dog can lead them into a stash, with fentanyl&#8217;s ability to be inhaled and absorbed through mucous membranes, it&#8217;s a bad combination for the family pet if there are drugs in the house. Even prescription pills and OTC meds can be deadly to our pets as mentioned in a previous <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.propethero.com\/blog-series-5-common-issues-with-your-pets-2-poisoning\/\">blog post on poisons.<\/a> Fentanyl comes in a patch, powder and recently to help with sales in the drug market &#8211; homemade pressed pills.<\/p>\n<p>Around Thanksgiving this year NBC News released a story about 3 police dogs that experienced an <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/k-9-dogs-overdose-fentanyl-drug-killed-prince-n687611\">overdose on fentanyl from searching a property<\/a>. Despite the humans checking the scene for their K-9 partner&#8217;s safety fentanyl was present and all 3 of the dogs inhaled or absorbed it through their skin or mucous membranes.<\/p>\n<p>The human officers noticed very shortly after the inspection that the dogs were acting tired, one in particular not holding onto his favorite toy or drinking any water. All 3 were rushed to a nearby vet. The police informed the vet hospital of what the dogs could have been exposed to and the vet team acted quickly to save all 3 dogs, including one severally overdosed by the drug.<\/p>\n<p>The dog received a drug called naloxone, which is absorbed as fast as fentanyl and reverses the affects. The canine police officer came to and with some more monitoring and fluids, made a full recovery.<\/p>\n<p>If for any reason your own pets are acting unusual, lethargic, or not responding like they normally would, check around your house. Act as a private investigator so when you go to the veterinarian you are armed with information so the vet can best help your pet.<\/p>\n<p>Get certified in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.propethero.com\">Pet First Aid and CPR<\/a> so like these officers, you will know what signs to look out for, what information to gather and how to act when your pet gets into something dangerous like drugs &#8211; legally or not!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Its hard to make it through the week without seeing some news about an overdose or some scary statistic that drug use, particularly heroin is on a scary high right now.
