The Springwatch co-host has shared the shocking details of how her pets Rio and Timmy fell seriously ill during a trek in Cape Town. The 55-year-old said her four-legged friends suffered seizures following a trip in the mountains.
Ms Strachan, who lives in the legislative capital, said she then rushed her dogs to the vet and to her surprise the medics recognised symptoms of an overdose of Tik – the name of crystal meth on the continent.
Ms Strachan had taken her pets through a ruined fort and the location is a known hotspot for homeless meth addicts.
It is thought the dogs may have come into contact with the dangerous drug via human faeces.
The dogs suffered a bout of severe sickness but are now thankfully on the mend and back up and running.
Ms Strachan shared the terrifying ordeal in a series of posts on social media.
She wrote: “After walking my dogs through a ruined fort on the mountain yesterday.
“A few hours later they looked like they were both having seizures and couldn’t stand up.
She wrote: “Rio and Timmy on the beach and back to their old selves.
“Tails wagging, noses wet, tongues out and chasing seaweed. Seemingly none the worse for their guest appearance in Breaking Bad!
“Thank you for all your comments and support. Weird experience.”
