You don’t know what’s in an aspirin for sure either but bet you take one when you have a headache. CBD oil is very safe and is much better for Callie’s liver then the pain medicine she would needed upped if it weren’t for the CBD oil. I did not go out and just buy some and give it to her blindly. I did A LOT of research on it and even talked to my vet about it. I would never do anything to harm Callie just help her and make her better. If only you could see the difference it has made then maybe you would understand.
Yes, I did misunderstand about the article and I totally believe CBD oil is helping Callie. I'm not trying to upset you and certainly not pick a fight over CBD oil but I'm just very, very cautious about drugs I give Tibbe, just as I would my child, just having to have more research and oversight before I use something on him than there is on CBD oil use in dogs, particularly toy dogs like Tibbe. I, and my parents and older sister, have taken Bayer aspirin for years, heartened once we learned of them, dozens of Bayer aspirin research studies and dozens of years of good empirical evidence, with long-term records of hospital uses, physicians prescribing it since it was introduced in 1899, to show that if taken as prescribed, it's safe for most humans in most cases and efficacious when properly prescribed and used. But I can't say the same of CBD oil. CBD oil hasn't been comparatively sold, prescribed, researched or used as widely in this country as Bayer aspirin or long enough for any reasonable comparison, let alone ingredient purity/toxicity long-term safety comparisons; and I doubt if many know much of its many manufacturers' safety history or ingredient sourcing.

Until there is more widely-recognized research of any product on dogs and more oversight over the CBD oil industry, I just cannot willing decide, under any circumstances, to give my one and only baby, the one dog that means everything in this world to me, something that may be helping now but could, possibly, over time, do something dreadful such as ulcerate his stomach lining through, his liver or kidneys or even give him cancer, as improbable as that may sound now to CBD oil fanciers. One day, if more than one vet specialist pronounced Tibbe were dying, I might try something out of desperation if it seemed to help him. If he were dying anyway, I can see taking the risk. And I think I might take the risk for my own use.

Just Googled it and CBD oil is against the law in Texas so I won't be able to use it for myself until and if it's legislated for use here. Hopefully if and when it is legislated saleable here, somehow they will mandate some type of regulatory oversight to help ensure product safety. Really glad it is working for your elder girl, Callie, and really, truly hope CBD oil continues to serve everyone taking it well and safely as there seems to be so much hope and help in what I've read and heard.
