My boxer has cancer, and apparently it flew under the radar for years. He's almost 12 do surgery isn't an option. The cancer gives him upset tummy...and the vet suggested Prednisone but I would have to take him back for blood work every 6 months due to the effects it could have on major organs. the CBD oil helps so much. Helps him eat and it's liquid so it's not difficult to get down him when he doesn't want to eat.

The only downfall is the cost. It can be pretty expensive for a 70 pound dog.

I have. They said it's worth a shot and it won't do any harm, but they said don't expect a lot from it. Most the the veterinarians in our area are pretty conventional when it comes to cannabis. They said he has a mast cell tumor, so it causes allergic/anaphylaxic reactions. He has has been taken to the vet for years for situations where he suddenly can't breathe. The emergency vets and my vet never suspected cancer. They finally got to the point where they said just give him Benadryl when it happens. Now that the tumor finally showed itself ( it grew between two flaps in his ear where it went unnoticed) all the dots finally connected. The CBD oil helps his acid reflux, and he's able to eat better. Most days he gets around great, he's been a great pup and we cherish these days we have left.

That's awesome! I think there is so much to learn about the benefits of cannabis and changing the stigma around it. I live in the Dayton Ohio area. From my experience our area is very split, many people still have a negative view on cannabis, and half are more progressive.
