ALF Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 K-9 dogs overdose on fentanyl, drug It's so potent that a few grains can be deadly. It can be ingested, inhaled or absorbed through the skin and mucous membranes. And because dealers cut other drugs with it, fentanyl is often a hidden menace, especially for dogs using their noses to pick up a scent. In August, two Atlantic County, New Jersey, detectives were hospitalized after inhaling the pain killer when a puff of it escaped from a plastic bag of heroin and cocaine during a field test. "I felt like my body was shutting down," Detective Eric Price said of the experience. "I thought I was dying." A month later, 11 SWAT officers in Hartford, Connecticut, ended up in the emergency room when a stun device they tossed into a house during a raid sent a batch of fentanyl, scraped off prescription patches often used by cancer patients, into the air. http://www.aol.com/article/news/2016/11/25/k-9-dogs-overdose-on-fentanyl-drug-that-killed-prince/21614149/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
