Police Narcan pitbull puppy O.D.ing on Fentanyl in Walmart parking lot
Last week, Irvine police officers gave the overdose-reversing drug naloxone to a pit bull puppy that they believed might have been exposed to fentanyl.
Bingo!
"Possible"
Possibly police are fucking liars.
What would they be lying about here? The woman said she thought her dog was overdosing.
“It is not possible to overdose by touching or accidentally inhaling fentanyl, and the same would apply to non-human animals as well,” Leo Beletsky, a professor of law and health sciences at Northeastern University, told The Times on Saturday.
So the dog couldn't have inhaled it then if the story is to be believed because the dog isn't going to intentionally inhale it
Because the drug is poorly absorbed through the stomach, he said, an animal would probably have to ingest the substance through its nose in order to overdose.
Yeah, this is definitely a made up story as others have said. Dog is still lucky it wasn't shot on account of it being a dog near police though.
Not clicking fake news.
Can someone provide context?
I'll try. Two alleged junk boxes were talking to the cops. Fent was discovered, but where and when it was found isn't discussed. One of the suspects said her dog was ODing, which is hilariously unlikely given how dogs respond to fent. The cops aren't getting their egos stroked like they used to, so they heroically gave the dog naloxone it almost certainly didn't need.
The only way this story makes sense is if these people intentionally fed their dog fent trying to get rid of evidence. But given the fact that many precincts aren't really charging drug offences like they used to, it's not really clear how much trouble the couple would have been in. And frankly, it seems more likely a fent user would try to hide it so they don't waste their money and a high.
which is hilariously unlikely given how dogs respond to fent
What exactly do you mean by this? Dogs respond to fentanyl exactly the same way that humans do....it just takes a larger dose because dogs are less sensitive to it that humans. If a dog is exhibiting signs of fentanyl overdose, all that means is that they've ingested a larger dose than would be needed to make a human overdose, and especially if the dog's owner is already saying it's happened before with the same dog and they recognize the symptoms in progress.
Considering it only takes a few grains of fentanyl to cause overdose in humans, it's not far fetched to think a puppy could ingest or inhale that much accidentally, especially if being transported in the same vehicle where there is known fentanyl possession taking place. Keep in mind, the body weight of a puppy is a fraction that of a full grown dog.
Puppies can and will eat anything regardless of whether it's an actual food item or not.
Would need b to be in a Florida Walmart for a bingo.
Well, it was only 10 miles from a large Disney theme park...
PS: not all Bingos need the center square.
Maybe it was a baggie on the ground of the car; we really don’t know,” Oldoerp said. “If they’re using drugs in their car, we can only speculate.”

That's just sad.
Trash people and pitbulls, name a more iconic duo
Cops and pretending to OD on fent by simply touching a container.
Man, it would be great if highly-potent fentanyl that could be administered by just skin contact were available to addicts. Think of how many public health problems disappear by eliminating the need to inject. Not to mention you should be able to get very consistent dosing by just counting patches.
There are fentanyl formulations for patch administration, but they have WAY less potency and are quite niche in application. Not something that has recreational application.
I don't know of any drug that makes drug enforcement police less cowardly, though.
A container that may or may not contain anything resembling fent.
