Peter Thibault, a resident of Andover, Massachusetts, was walking his three-month-old yellow lab named Zoey, when he noticed that she was chewing on a pack of cigarettes. After immediately taking the box out her mouth, she collapsed, according to The Eagle-Tribune.
“I had no idea what the issue was. She was just lying there. I picked her up, took her home and laid her on the floor,” Thibault told the newspaper. “It seemed she was getting progressively worse, her eyes were rolling back and her tongue was hanging out of her mouth.”
She was then taken to a local veterinary hospital and given multiple doses of a lifesaving drug. Fortunately, Zoey survived thanks to naloxone, a medication that can reverse opioid overdoses. This isn’t the first time Krista Vernaleken, Zoey’s vet, has seen cases like this and she doesn’t expect it to be the last either.
